Got out again today, figured I'd do the tot lot thing. I hit a few and they were all busts for the most part. On a whim I decided to do a little dirt digging at a school that last year gave up a few silver coins early in the season. I never really got back to it because it sees a lot of activity during nice weather and by the end of the year I had some other hot spots anyway. So I headed back today, not expecting much. The Sov has always been a little testy at this spot and was again today. I was getting all broken signals; even on good, relatively shallow targets. This made finding deeper targets tough. Most turned out to be deep rusty nails, until finally one proved to be a deep '46 wheat. After a while I got an awful signal, it was high and low and broke all over and in every direction. But for some reason I dug. The ground was pretty wet and the hole started filling with water as soon as I got the plug out. So I was digging pretty quickly, and deep. Suddenly out pops this big disc. I had no idea what it was. Silver at this spot does not come out clean - so it didn't look like silver. I had to pick it up and look close before I knew what it was - a '34 Walking Liberty Half! That was just about the last thing I expected, but certainly made my day.
I cleaned her up a bit at home - she's in rough shape but I'm still thrilled.
Total for the day was 55 coins worth $4.17 which included the half and two wheats.
And I sure do like the I love nerds item... made me laugh when I found it.
EDIT - I can not get pics to attach... ERROR 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR TRAY AGIN LATER? Hmmm... they seem to have attached though.
Happy hunting!

!! It's really wet and muddy where I am, maybe later in the week I'll have a chance to get out myself.
And what a haul you made. Looks like this is gonna be a good year for all of us. Well done.
