Big Silver for Veterans Day!!


So I have not been Out detecting at all with our super dry dirt out here in Northern Ca, Been since spring :(. I like digging in moist dirt..lol Anyways I took My AT pro and figured I would try it out. About 5 minutes in I got a strong 88 to 91. Dug a plug and found this beauty(1911 Barber Half) at about 4 inches on edge in the plug. SO anyways as you can imagine I was super happy.

That a great looking half! I have never found a Barber anything yet. Congrats!
 

Thanks guys. I was surprised myself to see it has a low mintage number. Only 680,000 of them minted

You gotta love that! Congrats on the Barber Half! I bet that was exciting to see in the plug. I've only dug one and it's been years. Way to go!
 

Less than 700K minted, so I'd say that's a great find!! Congrats!

That's a beauty!!! Congrats. HH
 

I love seeing Barber halves, been way too long since I've dug one. Congrats on the sweet big silver!
 

Congrats on pulling that Barber Half. I'd still be on cloud nine after digging that beauty. The AT PRO did you right.
 

Great key date half! Awesome find!
 

Congrats to you! I need one of those to complete my Barber set:notworthy:
 

I may be mistaken but, that looks like a 3rd Generation Glock 17c that your hunting partner is holding. Now tell me,, is that how you really got that half dollar?? lol
Very pretty coin,, Congrats
