Went back to my flat button site today.
The finds were good there, but have been scarce lately.
Decided to try my new 11" coil here and i also like the fact that this site is large and shaded by many trees.
Towards the end of a slow hunt I was telling myself that the site is likely hunted out.
I was getting ready to leave, but wanted to comb one last area where I got the St Philomena Catholic Necklace thing a few weeks ago.
I get a decent signal not too deep, in a trashy area. I kinda figured it was a beer can or a piece of iron.
I dig a plug and see what looks like some old brass or copper junk with something shiny inside of it.
At first I figured it was junk, and then.... Holy $#*% its a Walking Liberty Half dollar inside of a Dollar sign money clip.
The first photo below is what it looked like when it came out of the ground.
Its a little worn, but hey, beggars cant be choosers.

The only thing that would've made it better is if it had been a Silver Dollar! :laughing7:

Thanks Pepper. I would have been happy with the money clip or the half, but finding them together makes it even better.

Awesome awesome awesome find!

Thanks RJ. The oddballs are sometimes the best.

Thanks George. You know I was sure looking hard to see if there was anything else in the hole or in the vicinity. I didn't see any paper, but I think its a 1918, so the paper could be long gone, and those green spots could be from the dye from paper money. Who knows, but its a cool thought.

THANKS SUTHPHINEM. HE FOUND IT IN THE GROUND, AS HE WAS LOOKIN DOWN, AND IT WAS IN O-TOWN.
 

It does make sense to me that when that was dropped in the 1930's /40's ( whenever ) that there would have been some bills along with
the coin - the green may well be from the contact with the brass or copper money clip . Amazing find !
 

That is just a great find! As long as the site keeps giving you goodies like that, I guess we can expect you to keep going back.
 

There is something ya don't see everyday!!! Cool find/save!!!! :icon_thumright:
 

Congrats on the one of a kind find. :occasion14: Silver dollars are rare in my area. Most of the bigger silvers in town were pulled back in the 70' & 80's.
 

You never know what your going to find, pretty cool.
 

That is awesome! Congrats!
