Old farm hunt produces Key Date Walker Half Dollar 1916P

went to an old farm today and it was a good one. Dug several wheats, 1920 buffalo nickel, 1948 silver dime, 2 indians.......bringing me to 50 indians for the year!!!!

But the find of the day was the key date 1916P Walking Liberty Half Dollar! only 608,000 minted!!!! wooHOO!

I almost did not dig this signal, VERY iffy signal, sorta scratchy, bouncy etc....I flipped it into quick mask and it did not help it was surrounded by iron. I could not even pinpoint it, so I flipped it into 2 tone ferrous and I got a halfway decent non ferrous signal but it sure was not a half dollar signal, it was reading like 12-49, 10-48,........like I said could not pinpoint there was just so much iron and the signal seemed to dance around. Cut the plug and started pulling out nails, then in the side of the hole I saw a big silver rim. Boy I did NOT expect to see that! First half of the year!

I love the Two Tone Ferrous Mode - I will sure be going to back to a lot of sites that I've hunted in the past in Conductive Multi-Tones !

not real sure how to grade but I am guessing VF? Since it is before 1921 the details are not deducted as much. Might hit VF for that reason. anything after 1921 gets hit worse for wear and detail lost.
 
The detail required for specific grades, as well as the estimated current value..... according to the 2010 Official Red Book (A Guide Book of United States Coins 2010, R.S Yeoman)

OH MY!
 
Nice find Goes!
I Like reading that the machine is iffy once in a while as for some dumb reason I keep digging iffys to see if they really are good signals in the mix but very rarely do I get a real target that is iffy with my E trac. I have started to think it only hits good on good targets but I just cant get myself to believe that so I like to see that you have proved me wrong.

thanks.
