This afternoon was so nice out I decided to do more metal detecting in the backyard. Also found more info about our property.

Today is the day I have been dreaming about. Instead of going to the store and looking around at things I couldn't buy, I decided to do some metal detecting in the backyard (Again). Well, today I got my first Silver coin. An 1855 Liberty Seated Half Dollar, this coin is not perfect condition but for the age and being in the ground I think it's awsome. This coin has no motto above the eagle, no rays around the eagle, has arrow at date. This is my best find yet...
