    Got 100th silver coin today

    Today I was detecting solo and went to old park I hit couple times before and got some silver and IH in the past. Today hunt was journey to try to find 3 more silver coins and close the book on my silver goal. First 5 targets I dug were 2 wheat's, two IH (1875,1888) and one 1940d Merc 98th silver for the year. So hunt started very good for me but then slow down finding couple more wheat's in hour. Got bouncy signal reading nickel and going to zinc penny on Ace250 at 6 inches deep and dug 1943p war nickel 99th silver coin Another hour pass and got couple more wheat's and 1891 IH then got vey iffy signal one way only so switched to jewelry mode and then got little better repeatable signal bouncing from zinc to dime at 8+ inches down. Cut the plug and remove some more dirt from the hole and at 10 inches down got my first and also 100th silver coin for the year It was so tiny I was thinking I got 3 cent piece but after cleaning little I saw half dime on the back so my 100th coin is 1854 Half Dime <: Did the happy dance and called couple friends to just show off rofl. Stayed 10 more minutes just looking at that thing and then started to rain very bad outside so pack my stuff and went home. Sorry for long post but I am just so happy and still in shock little bit. Thanks everyone for looking and best of luck to all. HH Mike
