Tuesday Demo hunt (my first silver half)

Today, Mark, Junkman and I hit three demo sites in North Houston. We had a pretty good day. As we were about to leafve one site I got some squirrelly numbers bouncing around and a great tone, so I dug out about a 2" deep plug and flipped it out. Out popped a black disc and Ithe first hought was "A knockout from an electrical box", but after picking it up I could see it was a half. A '42 Walker! Also got a 45 D nickel, 46 D Rosie, 45 Quarter, 9 wheats (a '36 was holed), 9 clad dimes, a nickel and 42 memorials. Not bad for about 4 hours digging.
 
Great find! What kinda numbers did it give?
 
As I recall I got a 13-48, 13-49, 9-48, then a solid 12-46. I did not pinpoint, just dug it. After getting it out and a few minutes later I ran the coil back over the hole and about 3" tot he right was a solid 12-44 at 3 inches and it was a peice of aluminum frame about 2" by 1". I assume that was causing some erratic signals but the tones were high and pure. I was using GH's program, open, manual at about 27, and the 'flip' program was the stock coin with manual at 27. Now that I am getting used to the machine, I tend to run with no discrimination patterns and manual at the highest I can stand. It gives me some issue with pinpointing accuracy on numbers, and depth, but the tones are almost always dead on.
 
That is a GREAT 4 hour hunt.
