First old big silver this year!

[Mark kus]

I went back to where a old school once stood and I had found only one other silver coin there last visit.
It was a 1823 capped bust so I was determined to find more so I decided to hunt the edges very slowly I was getting some clad and a few wheats.
Then I had a great dime signal on my Nox when I flipped the plug over I saw the small sterling ring!
I was happy with that then about 30 feet away I had what I call a slight high tone barely a squeak I was in field 2 recovery at 6 so I was not going to not dig it well the signal was in the middle at the bottom of the hole so I took a big scoop out dumped it and saw a big silver edge!!!
I was thinking Barber of a seated as it was easily 8” down right in the middle of a old path that cut through a old stonewall!
When I flipped it over it was a 1917! I have never dug any walkers older than the 30’s so this being second year was a cool find also dug the old flat button near the walker the lone buffalo came from another park and so did the bullets 19 wheat cents
Also and about $4.50 in clad ..
I always do concentrate along the edges at out schools and parks and it pays off I’ve found a lot of nice silvers along the edges !!!
