Found a Walking Liberty Half

Went to my usual park today. I was hunting in an incredibly thick brushy area. I could not waste time digging trash here, it was just to hard. I set the Vaquero on the first mark past tab. I listened to the signals and only dug those with soft edges. I got a reading that was real loud but mellow , even in all metal. I thought half or maybe even silver dollar but was not expecting it. Only about an inch down was Lady Liberty. Only my second ever and first with the Vaq. The area was overlooking the Mississippi. Ive hunted these overlooks before without any luck.


 
Oh that's a super duper nice one!:cheers: Some people don't know that Tesoro detectors can find silver without having to dig a bunch of trash.

I think a lot of people dont know that.
 
WTG Hatpin. I find it baffling that sometimes a ten year old dime will be about 6" down and yet a (in my case with a 1864 IH penny) be only about an inch or two deep. It makes the mind "boggle".

Wooded areas are especially unpredictable. I found a very old Hawking whistle once. Second day out with the Vaquero. I kicked the leaves out of the way and in doing so kicked the whistle out of the way to. It wasnt even buried.
