E-Trac finds a Silver Half Cashe, 07/48/2009.

[coinhunter53]

Took my E-Trac across the street to a house yard that I have been searching wor the last three days. The second day I found a 1939 Mercury Dime at 1 inch. I knew that this yard had never been searched with a metal detector before. So Today I went to the back yard where the silver dime was found and walked back to that area. I started seaeching slow and at about 5 feet from the dime area I got a good medium tone on the E-Trac that was about 7 inches deep. After removing the plug, the signal was dead center of the hole. I dug around and pulled the loose dirt out. Checked the hole, no signal. Started checking the dirt pile and saw 3 Silver Walking Liberty Half's staring up at me. Now this was great, rescaned the remaining dirt with my X-1 probe and still had a signal. Moved the dirt around and saw 7 walker's stacked together. After removing all the coins. I filled in my hole, and went back across the street to show my Brother what I had found. This is my Second Sliver Coin Cashe in two years within 2 block of my house. Well, that is my story. HH...Jesse.

really nice cache! what are the dates on the Walkers? I see one that appears to be a 1938 but can't see for sure..If you have a 1938 is there a mint mark on the back of it?

WOW.........I'd be pounding that place hard. Maybe there's a burried treasure box from the great depression. I'd be so happy to find that many silver coins at once

Those babies were hidden there...No fool would lose that amount. Maybe a big hole in the pocket though.. Nice digs...Get back there and cover every inch and dig the scratchy signals..Could be the decaying metal box! jgas

Thanks everyone, this old dog can still pull a rabbit out of a hat every once in a while. The first cashe was found two blocks up the street. It totaled 35 Silver Coins 31 Washington Silver quarters from 1936-1957, plus 4 Walking Liberty Halfs. I was run off by the construction crew after they saw what I was digging up. The funny thing about that is I had been searching ther with their permission for a solid week. And to answer another question. That one half was a 1928, not 1938. I will be back over there tomorrow. I could not go today because I had to take my Brother to Lexington, Ky to the V.A. Hospital for an appointment today, and we just got back home about 30 minutes ago. HH...Jesse.

Wow, what a great surprise. I'm surprised you dug and pulled up a bunch of dirt without noticing at least one of the 3 halves in your hands lol. Congrats on the cache and good luck there tomorrow.
