Winning the Lottery

[Rockstone]

This isn't today but it's like winning the lottery for me and I always wanted to share it. There is a small park in my town and I had found a 1911 Barber dime there, so I figured there was more old money. I went back and the first tone after starting was the first pic. I uncovered it and the back was what I saw first. I didn't know what it was and I was super excited to learn more. I turned it over and that was pic 2 below. After I recovered from that excitement, I settled down and started detecting again. About 15' away and the next good tone I uncovered the coin in Pic 3. How often could you find two half dollars back to back and they are 43 years apart in age. The first coin was an 1895 mint O Barber half dollar. The next coin was a 1938 mint D Walking Liberty. Less than 500,000 made. A key date.

Awsesome

One big silver is hard enough, back to back in one hunt- insane! Add in a better date to boot and I'd say that hunt was a major success. Be sure to cover every inch of that place in both directions- Congrats & GL!

Very nice finds

As I have always said, "You just never know". Last week in a school yard, I found my one and only HALF DIME. Like you, I when I first saw it, I didn't know what it was, I thought foreign coin?, my brain just did not see what I was seeing, if that makes sense. To find TWO silver half dollars like you did back to back, wonder how long it would have taken me to get up off my butt, since the second half would have placed me on it I'm sure. Great day you had their Rockstone. Nice, very nice.
