Unbelievable!! The dimeless silver streak continues!

[Hook]

Went out for a short hunt just around the block from Onaug's house, in a city owned old empty lot, where just a house slab remains. This lot was really waterlogged due to all the recent rains, and had a low area i concentrated on. I was only hunting for about 15 minutes, and had dug a few pennies and a couple of can slaw chunks, when it started to rain lightly.
I head toward the truck swinging as i walk, and get a hit showing quarter/half at 6 inches. I stop and circle the target, and it locks onto 50 cents, while pinpointing small enough to get my hopes up. I cut the plug, and flipped it back, and its still in the hole. So i loosen up the dirt and stick my pinpointer in, and the target is on the side of the hole. I actually scraped it with my lesche when i cut my plug.
Out comes a 1951 D Franklin half dollar! I was shaking my head muttering..the people on the forum aint gonna believe this! I cant hardly believe it either !
Firt pic is the dig site, with my detector and open plug barely visible in the distance, just under the bottom of the far fenceline. The coin is tarnished badly, but i think its from staying so wet in that low spot.
I am going to ride this large silver streak till it ends,,,smiling the whole way
HH and thanks for looking everyone!
