Jim Found this 1920-S Half-Dollar in his own backyard along with a couple of Mercury dimes and wheatback cents. Jim's story goes like this, his wife lost a gold ring in the yard 7 or 8 years ago, but Jim has been unable to locate it as of yet. An accomplished hunter, he's tried every detector he's ever owned with no luck. He has owned a Minelab Explorer for over a year but never tried to find the ring with this machine. He still has not found the ring, but he popped out some good silver coins instead. Jim Siel |
