A few years ago when I started detecting one of the first things I found in my own yard was a bicentennial half dollar. I remember coming in the house with an over- satisfied smirk on my face,slapping it on the counter and saying to my then doubting wife,"See? Kiss my $&@!!" Well,that was sooooo long ago...over time I have gone from being good with finding clad and knick knacks to really targeting old coins only. Endless research,scouting,thinking,scheming...the other day I was at a local church where I've found an 1896 IH and a silver dime,along with a cool token,a couple nice rings,wheats,etc. I got a solid big silver hit and thought I'd hit the big one. I did,but to my utter disappointment it was a bicentennial half dollar. Now,we shouldn't be hanging our heads about finding ANY kind of half dollar but I was. Do we as humans get so desensitized and used to "better" all the time that we get that jaded that fast? Sometimes I forget that a small wonder is still a small wonder,even though I have experienced bigger ones...the 1852 LC I found a couple months ago is going to make everything else not good enough,at times I wish I'd never found it.
