Yesterday, I went to the park that I had found the Barber dime at Wednesday. When I left that park, I took a different route to work, driving through a neighborhood that I hadn't driven through before. I saw an empty lot, posted by the city as "For Sale". I made a mental note to check that lot out.
Well, today was that day. I started searching, and it wasn't long before I started getting good targets, namely Wheat's. They started popping up, from shallow depths, at regular intervals. Then, I got a nice, sweet signal that indicated 3" down. When I flipped over a plug, I saw a nice silver dime looking back at me. Here it is:

Not that far away, I got a signal from 4" down, that ended up being two Wheat's stuck back-to-back together. When the first one came out, and had some crusty green verdigris in a semi-circular shape, I immediately knew that there was another coin in the hole. Prompty, I recovered the second Wheat.
Just a foot away from that signal, I got a very shallow High Coin signal, at an indicated 2". I cut a plug, checked, and nothing. I scanned the hole, target's there. I pulled out the loose dirt and checked it, nothing. I checked my watch, and realized I had better recover this target quick, and scram off to work. I pulled out my Vibraprobe, scanned, and got a signal at 7 o'clock in the hole. I stuck the tip of my digger in, and popped out a divot of dirt, revealing a HUGE reeded silver edge. I immediately started smiling, as I knew I had found a silver half. When I pulled it out of the hole, I saw the eagle on the reverse, and realized I had found a Walking Liberty Half. Here she is:

I love those coins!
