I had an awesome day yesterday at a small military base in NY that was around during the civil war. I have detected here before and found a few indian head cents, a CW button from a union soldier and a bunch of minnie balls and musket balls. There is a baseball field that does double duty as a Par 3 golf course. I found the SLQ pictured last week which made me decide to hit this area hard yesterday. I pulled up a 1952 silver quarter first. The next hole yielded three mercury dimes and two wheat cents. The barber came next and i needed to change my drawers when upon digging a quarter signal i pulled out a huge silver disc. It's my first walker liberty half dollar and i couldnt help but stare at it for minutes like an entranced child. What an awesome day. 5 silver, 6 wheaties, and a few bucks in clad. I've got to hit this spot again as its huge and i seriously doubt i've hunted it out.

Awesome digs!
Anytime you find that array of coinage in one area you are at a seemingly unhunted hotspot! Move in, set up camp and keep us posted.
 

Now that is some sweet digs....Keep it going... ;D jgas
 

Great finds Sarge!!! Which detector were you using? SE or XLT?

Fantastic hunt! :o Keep hunting that site! No telling what you'll find there!

Congrats! Nana :)
 

What a great place to hunt I am sure you will find more silver there after seeing what you already found
 

Congrats on that great silver! That is a great day of hunting for sure. I know that Walker really topped it all off. Good job.
 

Nice silver haul ! :o :thumbsup:

I have found lots of cool coins but, still looking for my first Silver Half Dollar or larger... :icon_scratch:

Nice find, :D

Keep @ it and HH!! ;D
 

Great finds. I love finding that silver.
