21/2 hours before sundown I started hunting the same spot where the sand left a small area only partly buried.
The targets were deep and the signals tiny, but Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter will find it sooner or later if it's there!!
I have found several silver half dollars in the water over the years (Once found two in the same hole!), but never one in as good a shape as this one, a 1900 Barber Half Dollar.

A tiny silver chain and a thin silver ring rounded out the best finds of the hunt.
Recovering the bullets from among the stony substrate is no fun and sometimes when I lose a target in a hole, i'm certain it's a bullet.
