I took another crack at the site I have detected the past two days and walked away with some more goodies - a beautiful and heavy sterling silver medal, probably from 1920, as inscribed on the back, a 1901 Barber half, two Barber dimes, dated 1901 and 1907, two mercury dimes, both dated 1925, some old wheat cents, and three Indian Head cents.

I do love seeing silver coins in the clod of soil. :loveit:

It was great seeing this half at the bottom of the hole.

Today's five silver coins bring my total count for the year to 383.

This baby is large and heavy. Initially I thought I had another half dollar under the coil, as the Fe/Co numbers were hitting just right and the tone was right on.

I also dug up a flat button, several wheat cents, and three Indian Head cents. They are in poor shape unfortunately

That medal is really sweet... the coins too of course. I still look at the Barber half I found earlier this season just about every other day - down from every day for a few weeks... :lol:
