What a great weekend! Yesterday I hit curbs a bit, got only wheats, then knocked doors at an old house, managed to get 2 indians 1865 and 1896, then got a real wierd signal 01-37 but hit solid all the way a round, it was a 1902 barber dime, cool. Totally unexpected.

Today I started at 8am at an old park in a town I have never been too, got a few wheats, two toasted indians 1889, and 1900, a silver war nickel, and tons of clad. We stayed there about 3 hours, wanted to give people time to wake up before we started door knocking. First house we knocked at, got a yes, only got 2 wheats and a nice 1935 buffalo.

House #2 I got a 1916 merc...NO "D" lol..then I got the 1902 barber quarter, and a couple wheats. From there we knocked at one last house and I got a couple wheats again and a bit more clad, then I got a nice deep 12-39 classic wheat penny signal and I found a small silver disk, I thought for sure it was another play coin, I have found so many....but NOPE, it was a 1854 half dime is amazing shape! FINALLY after 5 yrs detecting I got my very first half dime! woooHOOOOOO!!!

WTG Terry on ur FIRST Half Dime and it sure is a purty one too.

It took me almost 7 years before I found my first Half Dime and boy what a thrill it was.

P.S. I like how you say "silver war nickel" :rofl:
 
Big congrats on your first 1/2 dime. They are really exciting to find and difficult to pinpoint. Only found 1 myself and it is one of my favorite coins.
 
Awesome couple of days! The half dime is in really good condition. Good job!
 
Stellar finds Terry! Thanks for the story and the pictures. A HUGE Congratulations to you!

Tony at first I thought it was one of those aluminum play coins, so I wiped it with my finger, and I almost fell over when I saw the seated lady!!!!
 
That is great! Congrats,
