Seated half

[recondigger]

Today was a sorta a sad day as I think about the buddy's I've lost over the years but good in that they were honored today by others. Well the morning started early with 2 different services to go to then a long march in the parade. After getting home the wife and I were hanging out and I started playing with the CTX in the front yard well under this big root left from a tree I took down I got a signal I have picked it up before but never messed with it. It was a bouncy kinda junky signal. seeing it was the only one I decided to dig it. Thank god it was in my yard because I tore it up. Well holy crap I let my wife pull it out and she started yelling honey it's a half dollar it's a half dollar but she wouldn't give it back I didn't know what it was for the first 4 min.

Scouts out!

I wouldn't try either. It's great in the state it's in.

That be a keeper! Totally digging that first pic. I have a huge maple tree in the back yard and I have a solid 8" deep signal right at the base of it, probably could have dug it out 40-50 years ago but I'm afraid that it is now part of the tree. Short of a storm blowing the tree over (which I'm hoping won't happen), I'm afraid it's going to stay a mystery. Glad you found yours!

Fantastic find, congrats! Now I cringe thinking about all the targets I've had to abandon because roots prevented me from reaching them. Glad you got to this one!

Nice find. Wonder what they used to punch the hole? It's really nicely round...

i didn't think of that i just looked at it and it looks like a knife or something because its smaller in the middle of the hole
