Default Never Thought I Would Find One Of These!
Hit the soccer field today for a change of pace, & found this beauty! 2 inches deep & the ACE 250 positively identified it as a .50 cent piece! In 2 years detecting, I have never found one of these...was so excited! Thanks for looking!

I found a half on top of the ground in a coin spill a while back (Total of 2.47). I found my first half, a Walking Liberty, on a football field. During the Summer, they used to show free movies there when I was in Junior High.
