One big kiss!:garrett:

It quit raining about 10a here so saddled up and headed to a spot I hadn't been to for a while and historically doesn't yield a lot of targets. Occasionally, though, those it does are of the older coin varieties. About midway through my 2 1/2 hour hunt I got a fairly faint high tone that the reading was hovering in the 88-89 range with a flickering 6-8" depth reading. Dug down a good 6" and found the target just off to the side near the bottom of the hole. Pushed my digger on top of and back behind the target and felt the target with the digger. Yup, put a nice kiss in a rather pretty 1905s Barber half. I think it was at least partially on edge, but not sure. It fell out of the small dirt clod just the way you see it in the first picture. None the less, I'll take it. Also got 2 wheat cents, a 36 and a 41d. Hope everyone was and is digging good this weekend. HH jim tn
 
Nice going, again! Is your dirt drying up where you are? And no, I'm not digging, I'm working :nopity:
Oh well, maybe tomorrow Ii can go look for some of those softer targets! :beers:
 
Cointrackers data...2,500,000 minted...26.00 for one in Poor condition, 3500.00 in perfect condition...I think the scar came from the Full moon pulling it up last night...What a beauty!

Think...out of the 2.5 million minted, how many were lost? even if it was 25% which sounds high, thats only 600,000 lost on this big planet, what are the odds of getting a small coil over one that fell in a retrievable location? Pretty darn slim! And, even if this coin was seen by a coil in the past, what are the odds that tiny deep chirp was even heard? :shrug: Great Find!:please:

That's an exciting find. It's been a long while since I scored one. Congrats :clapping:!

But they were mear collection items. I have found one Canadian Silver Dollar in 20 years. Don't you just hate when you finally pull the target from the hole, only to discover a gash from you digger on it.:rant:
 
Yeah, I hate that, John, and I have dinged a couple of other silvers this spring. I really thought that half from the reading was probably a silver quarter.. Not that I probably wouldn't have kissed it as well, though. They are fun to find and I have been fortunate in finding them. HH jim tn
 
Great dig, Jim! That is one big, beautiful chunk of Silver! I've found exactly one Barber half, and darned if I didn't put a nick in it. :tongue:
