Holy cow! I finally dug a silver half! I was having a great hunt already, with silvers #29 and 30, a sterling pendant, 3 buffalo nickels, and a few other goodies. For some reason, I persisted through the mosquitos, the darkness, and being a long drive from home. I felt like one more good target...then I dug the half dollar. Did not think it would be that at all. When I first saw round and shiny (in the darkness), I thought "whatever it is, it's about the size of a half dollar" Then came the moment of realization. I have searched and waited for a silver half dollar forever. I held that dirt covered coin in my hand until I got my phone from the truck, and walked to a nearby street light to take a couple pics. So happy!
