Hey everyone, got out tonight for a few hours at my random woods spot. Apparently there's more 
what an awesome few hours. About an hour in I hit the melted half reale (my first) this thing is so brittle it's crumbling. But luckily the date is still intact (1803 or 1808), and you can also see IND on the back. I was stoked. Got word that bottlecapking was gunna join me. I met him and we went back out in the woods. Things were slow, an injun here and there or wheat and finally, after digging a 1900 injun, I get a good quarter/half signal at about 4". I had bck come check it and he confirmed that it was indeed a nice quarter or half signal. I wish I was recording for this one! Popped up an 1895 barber half! My first! I believe I see the remnants of an O mintmark but not sure. Seems the pressure of the dirt when pushed on while extracting it scratched her up, not the shovel. Oh well 
about 2-3' away and I get a solid quarter signal at 5"! I said I better record this one lol and got it live! Again not the best quality video ever but I'm having fun sharing these moments with YouTube 
I'll post the link when I get the chance to upload it lol. Right before I had to leave I hit the sterling bracelet! Just icing on the cake! Just over 16 grams! Bck didn't do too shabby himself, I can assure you he found more than a rock this time 
great night, I screamed like a little girl after the half, the excitement took over my body and I just lost it! Also got a total of four injuns, 2 wheats and a bunch of relics not pictured yet! Stay tuned gonna update this thread at a better time lol I'm beat! Thanks for looking and happy hunting everyone!

Acid tests show good for silver on the reale, eats the streak up and turns dark red, I believe that means 90%+?!? I don't use the stone very often but I do have one, more for gold finds that don't happen very often
