Well....2 weeks after finding my U.S. Belt Buckle I was digging a yard that I thought was built in the 1900 Era, but due to my finds I believe the home dates 1850. So right after I asked permission I started hitting some wheat's and a the innards of a old pocket watch. I then made my way to these two big trees that were probably 120 years old or so, I got a good signal right in the middle of them and pulled a Nice 1873 Semi-Key Date Indian with beautiful green patina! I then had my suspicions of this house and was sure it was older than 1900. I then moved around pulling some more coins and relics and then..... I got a nice but scratchy 70-88 signal on the ATPro. I dug down and lone behold I saw in my hole a Half Dollar. I pulled out my camera and thought it was going to be a Walker or MAYBE a Barber, but no... I pushed off some dirt and saw the beautiful Seated Eagle on the back of the coin and lost my mind!!!!!:shocked05::happy: IT WAS MY FIRST EVER SEATED SILVER AND TURNED OUT TO BE THE GRAND SLAM OF THE SERIES!!!! A 1856 SEATED HALF DOLLAR!! :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::happydance01::happydance01:
P.S. I know I put a ding on it, but I don't even know how it happened! I was very easy while digging it. I guess that's what I have to pay for digging it! Its still a beautiful coin though! Just focus on its good angles!:lolsign:
