  • I can't believe I just found this coin here at a place we have been metal detecting for 5 years. I was digging through the sheet metal, cans and junk when I locked on to a good 86 signal with my Fisher F19. I opened up the ground and was pulling out nail, bailing wire and shards when I shifted the dirt and seen a silver edge. OMG ! that is a huge coin ! When I pulled it out of the dirt it I could not believe it. 1821 Silver capped bust half dollar in fantastic condition. I was right in-between two cellar holes that are loaded with all kinds of trash and junk but we always pick good relics out of.

    Charlie, I am quite pleased that you dug this half-dollar. First, because I have never seen one. And secondly, because you deserve it! Serious congratulations. Also today we discovered the pin pointer drop is your version of a mic drop. Well done!

      I built a metal detector out of old television components from all the ones donated and later tossed in the trash when I was twelve.
      Now in my 50s I now have 2 Whites, 2 Garretts and 2 Minelab besides. I have been out countless times and I have never not found something... Although lately I have been a fair weather detectist, meaning when it is raining. nice dirt you're digging... Nice find. The gold coin is out there too. I find that there always is.
      Good luck, obverse side up.

It’s very frustrating trying to weed through the junk but this shows patience and perseverance pays off. I know I will not find old coins like that but just sliver or copper makes me happy. I found my first IHP a week ago in a cane field. I was extremely happy. But you never know what you gonna find. That’s what I love about it. Thanks for the vid.
