What'a waste.

The piece of a half dollar was one of my first digs this morning and ultimately spent the better part of my 3 1/2 hour hunt searching high and low for the remaining piece. I just inched my way along double checking every chirp, tic and false signal. Unfortunately, all to no avail. The area was one I had been over at least a couple of times before and as a result targets were even fewer then norm. Not shown was a deep buckle, 2 clad dimes and a Memorial cent. The toasted disc I think was a nickel at one time, but it is in such bad shape there is no way to know. After expanding my searching radius out from the half piece about twenty yards, I detected a straight line back toward one end of the field and about half way got a bouncy high silver reading showing only 4" of depth. At about 3" or so I unearthed what appears to be a silver bracelet. I say appears as the clasp section is broken off and I cannot find any markings. It reads as silver on both the LTD and the Omega, looks like silver and has some weight, 19.7 grams, and rubbing with a polishing cloth the cloth turns black. I think it is silver, but won't know for sure until I get my tester back that I loaned out to a friend to test some of his stuff. Have a good weekend, all. HH jim tn

Sorry about the half. Jim your not going to find everything. That sometimes is the most frustrating of all things in metal detecting. Sometimes you have to just realize it is not in the cards and move on. I feel like a hypocrite saying that because I will hunt and hunt and hunt. I don't like to give up but sometimes it has to be. Next time Jim it will be a whole silver dollar coin. Nice hunt and great effort....Z
 
I got this Morgan shortly after getting my F 75 a few years ago. It was a real disappointment digging such a nice coin and finding it all lawn mower dinged. At todays silver price, it is worth more for its silver content then it was as a collector coin then. Take care. HH jim tn
