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!!!!:clapping:

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

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!

Congrats on the Walking Half and for finding a Key Date, too! You earned it by digging anyway! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Wow! The only half dollar I've ever found was a Kennedy half. I'm beginning to hunt older properties now and beginning to find older coins & artifacts.
 
Barker better check your grade again on that one! this is an EASY VG and possibly Fine. 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.
G=$45
VG=$52
F=$100
VF=$100
 
Either way that is the first year for that coin. What a good find, that will fill a big spot in your collection of hard to find coins. Those are the same 2 injuns I found a couple weeks back.

You got a mint mark on that Buffalo?

I have not been hunting coins this last couple weeks, been after jewlery. Hmmmm.... maybe I better rethink that. Nope I am going nugget shooting and gold panning tomorow.

There are so many aspects to this hobby, you gotta love it.

Very nice finds Terry :beers:
 
Barker the pic doesn't do it justice either, you can see most lines in her gown but in pic they don't show up good.
