Filled a hole in the collection. The snow had melted on the Front Range. I stopped by one of my favorite places. This was close to an old Foundation about 5 or 6 inches down. It only took 14 years to find a half. Almost have it back to the 1800's. Only the half was found yesterday. The dollar was found on top of the ground years ago and shows signs of being wind-blown. The half dime was a street tear out. The quarter was found on my rental property! A few weeks ago I found an 1890 dime and have given it to the owner to secure an unbelievable permission. 2016 is starting off pretty good. I've been out a half dozen times. Here are a few relics from the past few hunts.

Congrats on the half! The other coins are really sweet too!
 

Looks like a great hunt. Love large silvers.
 

14 years and well worth the wait!!! Nice looking half!!! :occasion14:
 

I want to come hunt with you! I lived in Victor 1994 to 1995.
 

Congratualtions on the big silver! :occasion14:
 

Thanks for the likes and posts. I usually only find one good find and every 10 hunts or so but would love to go out ecjamsit, I'll message you some contact info. Victor is great, it's changed!
 

Great old silver congrats on the find
 

Very impressive assortment of neat finds.And along with that fine half ,you have the silver dollar to boot.
 

I just found the exact same year half 2 days ago. Mine is a little more worn though. Anyway nice finds...
 

Nice! All of my early silvers so far have been Barber and Mercury dimes with a few pre 1964 quarters - so I would go nuts if I found a half! Well done and thanks for sharing.
 

There must be a special on Barber halves, I have seen many dug in the past 2 weeks. Congrats on digging one for yourself. :occasion14:
