Big Silver inside of a Money Clip Day

[bonepicker]

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.

Some people carried a silver dollar for good luck if they could afford to, with the amount of wear it sure looks like it. Maybe they placed it in the money clip so it wouldn't get lost so easily, LOL. Congrats on the nice find! HH, Mike

That is a really really cool find! The guy that lost that was bummed...

Thanks Carolina Tom. Yeah, especially if that money clip had some dollar bills in it.

Nice digging!

Thanks Wkrp43. Dug a lot of trash at that site, so I guess I was way past due for something good to happen.

Gotta luv it....Silver and a Relic.."How Sweet it Is..."

Thanks ArDirtSlinger. "I want to stop and thank you baby!"

Tyler Boo Boo? Old dude? You getting this? Allen? I'm really gonna pray this doesn't take hold.....Na! , hell I'm lying again...

It appears Ms. Tyler-Boo-Boo does some modelling to free up our hero's time for detecting. In fact since my vaca he's been MIA

Now that is a different find right there! With the green on the half, i wonder if there wasn't paper money with that??

May well have been some paper money there?

Nice find there bonepicker, I have found a few clips in the past. All of them were cheap ones but without coins or rotted paper, still they made the hunt special for me !
