It was close to 50 degrees yesterday and decided to return to a wooded spot I hunted in the past. On this hunt, I was sporting the AT Pro with the 5x8" coil. This whole area is woods and decided (since it was cool) to hunt much of the brush that covers the ground. In the brush covered areas I didn't find much but junk. I then started walking the remnants of a trail and right between two big roots (lying on top of the ground) I found the mercury dime. A mere 1" deep. I then decided to cut up through the hilly landscape and started hunting the other end of this wooded Peninsula. I hunted near the lake edge and found a few early wheat cents from the teens. Having covered the shoreline area, I decided to head back into the more heavily wooded areas. It was at this point a sweet, solid high tone rang out. (TID of 90) dug down into the damp soil, fished around with my pinpointer and found a beautiful Walking Liberty half dollar!! It is very rare that I find this denomination so this was very welcomed! I then headed through the woods to the other side of the peninsula and found the quarter and sterling ring. I then realized my time was up as the sun was setting and temperature was dropping quickly. I decided to "wrap it up" and call it a great day!
