Had a great time out detecting today. Went back to an old site I've had good luck at before, not sure how I missed this coin last time but...I knew I had a silver half after hearing the clear signal and seeing it ring up between 92-94 on the at pro...only 3" down and there it was my first walking libery half! 1917 D...also dug an 1889 IH and a 1920s bus token. Happy hunting!

Clean it up and take pics. That could be worth a lot if the condition is right...

Rinsed it off, but the front didn't clean up very well.
