A lady walked up to me on April fools day

[Tenspeed]

Shovelnose and I hunted hard on both Friday and Saturday (6-8 hours each day, Bennie and Gilbert also hunted Friday). We had a great (but tiring) time and both found silver each day. This site is very trashy and has been hunted hard, but the E-Trac showed itself well.

He has already posted his a couple of places. Following is what I found for all my labors:

Friday April Fools:

1940 Walking Liberty Half Dollar
1964D Roosevelt
9 wheaties (1934, 36D, 2x44, 50D, 53D, 55, 57D, ??)
$2.36 Clad and copper memorials
Enameled disc size of a quarter
18K gold plated watch
Electroplated Myrtle Beach thing
2 square nails that made me think they were dimes (must have been brought in with fill dirt)
Plus many bits of aluminum that come up as pennies

Saturday April 2:

.925 Silver child's ring
8 Wheaties (1941, 44, 45, 2x48, 49, 51, 56D)
$3.58 in clad and copper memorial change (8 quarters, 10 dimes, 58 pennies)
Costume plated ring
Blue Marble
Aluminum button (that was a good 12-45 number)
Watch guts (not shown)
Plus the usual aluminum trash and one square nail

Overall, we had a great time, but were definitely dragging at the end of each day.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!!

What a great find. Love those Walking Liberty Halves. Been lucky enough to find a few of those over the years. You must be lucky too.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your outing.

That's a lot of huntin' and a lot of sweet finds to go along with it.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I still can't believe half dollars in two consecutive hunts! These are only the 4th and 5th halves I have found in my 5 years of detecting.

I have to thank my new hunting partner, Shovelnose, for putting me on these locations to be able to make the wonderful finds. He has also introduced to to a great group of other detectorists and new friends.

I hope everyone else is as lucky and don't hit the dry spell that is bound to hit me since I have used up all my luck now.

Happy hunting and keep on swinging that coil!
