finally

[detectorbill]

Good day all; I have been lurking around this site for some time now and have been jealous of all the great finds. I have been detecting for around eight months and found only clad and some odds and ends junk. All I wanted to find was sliver in any form, a 1964 Rosie would be great at this point, but until today no luck. Today I may have found the find of a life time and I wanted to see what everyone thinks about it. I was searching in a new area recommended by my hunting buddy, a public park which I have been to many times but in a different area. I was just walking at a fast pace toward a raised area I thought would yield the best finds and I got a solid 23(penny) on my coinstrike. I dug to 5", I ran the coil over the area again and the reading was now a solid 32 (dime) still in the hole. I dug a little bit more and saw something silver. I picked it up and What I thought had to be a token or something else turned out to be a 1841 HALF DIME. I am still in shock and will be posting pictures tomorrow when I can, to show off a little. I know it's not the best find on the forum but I sure am proud of it.

Maybe one day I'll come up with something like that.

I'll be waiting on some pics,

It may not be the best find as you say, but it's a darn good one. You will enjoy that coin and that feeling for quite a while!! This is how addictive metal detecting can be. You probably are hooked for life. Don't bother with a doctor - it's too late for you!
