Default my best and most unexpected find..

never thought i would find 2 half dollars at a hard hit relic site. Never thought i would find 2 at any 1 time for that matter. They where 4.5" deep and about 3" apart. I have never found any kind of Barber while detecting or a Walker from 1917. Found a fired 3 ring .58 cal about 2 feet to the right of them at 3.5". Best coin day for me ever. Thought i had a civil war era coin's at first but i will take what i can get.

Default i scratched both a little with the digger

and the barber is about wore out. thats ok though. would much rather find a CSA/USA button or Buckle too honest. Something besides all these bullets. The 2 half dollars were a big surprise as i avoid the area due to all the old iron drums and sheets of tin.
