Hello all...
I hit 2 spots yesterday... The 1st one was a new spot and I gave it 90 minutes to look around and see what the site was like... Lots of fill and trash... wire, scraps or metal, and furniture nails... :-(
I then went back to the spot I murdered with my ETrac that I hit in January for the 1st time in 18 months: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?86,1844925,1844925#msg-1844925
I spent 2.5 hours here and the 1st hour was pretty quiet... a few coins... nothing old.. not even a wheat penny...
I moved towards the back left where I recovered the Walking Liberty Half in January...
I got a 1920 wheat... Then a 1944 wheat...
Then I got a dime signal @ 3"... In the plug sticking out I could see the back of a Merc... 1944

I got a few more wheat pennies... Then I got a Penny / Dime range signal... @ 5"... I popped out the plug... nothing with the pinpointer... hmm... deeper...
There it is... I popped out the dirt and the coin onto my towel... ANOTHER Walking Liberty HALF !! 1943
In the 1st 5 years of my young detecting career... I've recovered 8 Silver Half Dollars... Now I have 2 this year...
I love my 3030...

9 wheaties 1920-1957 and 3 pieces of silver... I fished my wish for this day and love this great hobby
I hope everyone got out and had a chance to fish their wish...
Respectfully,
Paul
