First silver half...It's a Barber!!!!

Hit some more sidewalk strips and got lucky again.  After a couple of wheats, I hit the merc.  Just a few feet later I got a 08-47 on the E-Trac.  I thought it was going to be a quarter.  I flipped it out of the ground, and saw it was a silver half.  I thought for sure it was a Kennedy, or a Franklin,  or maybe a Walker.  Nope, BARBER!!!!



I found the ring a little later.  What a great day!!

Another sidewalk silver. #4


Had a nice hunt this morning.  Hunted a few different sidewalk strips, and one yard.

5 wheaties and a 1960d Rosie.

Anyone know what the Elgin item is?

Another sidewalk strip Merc!


Hunted a private yard today with mediocre results. I did find one wheat, but mostly clad.  I moved over to the sidewalk strips, I don't know what they're called... you know the strip between the sidewalk and the street?  Yeah, that's the one I hunted.  I found another wheat and the Merc.  I am loving this machine.

Third hunt with E-trac first Merc!!!

Lovin' it!

I can't believe I'm finally finding old silver coins.  It is why I started detecting in the first place.

2nd hunt, first silver!!

Didn't take long!

E-Trac time!

I finally sold all of my Ace250 gold, and bought the E-trac.
