Finding some goodies with my new V3i

[tanacat]

Found a '67 JFK half dollar and was puzzled because it didn't look like clad- it looked like silver! I called Handyman and he told me halves from '65-'69 are 40% silver 8/ learn something new everyday! I found it using my deep silver program, although it was only about 4 deep. It's so wild sounding, really cool! Like in a Star Wars fighting scene. And the relic program is fun sounds like Asteroids in the 70's- remember Atari? lol I found a red Hotwheel at 8 using the Relic program.

A nice place with rich history dating back to 1835 I've been hunting lately. It's a great spot on these hot days - lots of big shade trees. I have yet to take pic of the front of the building lol

That's what I initially thought :) but then looked at the photos closer and realized it wasn't.
