Went back to the river a little downstream from where I got a mercury dime a few weeks ago. Old fishing spot so I was hitting a lot lead and other misc copper pieces. Also a lot of 60s clad/pennies. Finally got a wheat penny and the next signal was a 1944 dime. Got 2 more wheats and began to work my way back out. I was happy with another silver when I got a sold 34-35 on the Equinox. I thought for sure this was going to be another big piece of copper. So I started pulling out handfuls until the pinpointer stayed buzzing with what was in my hand. When I opened my hand a I saw big gray disc reverse side up among the rocks. Couldn’t believe I was holding my first silver half. 1911-s barber. It’s pretty worn but not in bad shape. I’m hoping to get back in there again soon but with cooler temps, the water is sure to be getting cold. I may need to invest in some waders. Anyway here are some pics. Before and after cleaning with baking soda/tinfoil. Pics may be out of order, but the black background pics are the before.
