Tesoro Outlaw :tesoro::usaflag: Oh Yeah Big Ben :smile:

I was at the site at daybreak and shortly thereafter I had my coil over a 1957 Franklin Half Dollar. I found it next to a service walk that went to what used to be a detached garage, but it either burned down or was torn down. The area around where the garage used be is a minefield of old rusty nails. Yesterday I went down along that same service walk with another detector brand and it got all tied into knots. I decided today I'd take the Outlaw, since it can handle nails without much fuss. I detected for around an hour and decided to call it day. At 7:02 I was loaded up and headed for home.

You can see my settings in the photo below. Nothing that I have can beat the Outlaw in a bed of nails. I just noticed the ole rusty nail laying next to Ben in the first photo.

Mud, I was thinking about a Franklin Half last night when I was rubbing my Genie. It could be just a coincidence that I found one today.

Yep, super rare find!, rarer than gold, only minted between 1948-1963..again, I cant say enough about what a trophy find this is for you!...Their numismatic value is of no consequence, as far as a detectorists finds, theres more Barber or Walker halfs found than this one!...I'll give you 10 dollars for it! Great post! Theres hope out there for the rest of us!

Great find Tab! No wonder you have that big arsenal of Tesoro detectors.

Beautiful coin! Big Ben is on my list of coins I most want to find. Way to go!

 

[bik-il]

Franklins are high on my list of favorite finds.
Two summers ago I got two in the span of a month, my first and only Franklins.

Nice job!

Tabman that is a dandy find......Z

Tabman, beautiful coin...and it's no coincidence that you found it with the Outlaw, I'm sure. Not being a techno expert I cant say why it happens, but the Outlaw seems to find things in some places that other detectors dont. Keep up the good work.
