I was able to get out 3 days this month, in between the snow, rain, and freezing temps, for a total of 4 hours. Tried three new sites hoping to fine the elusive, larger than dime, silver. No luck, but found a couple cool things, and I got my fix. This 'beep' junkie will be content for another week.

December 2nd The golf course.

Also found a 1952 dime here along with many bullets.

December 24th The runway hill.
1867 Shield nickel... my first.

Also found many bullets here.

December 30th The site I call Bullet Island

Bronze ring

Didn't dig many bullets here, but they were there. Didn't want to carry 10 pounds of lead today so I only dug what sounded like 'Not'bullets.

    Awesome finds as always!! Very productive in the "good stuff" department too, for a total of four hours.
    Great looking half dime! It's a shame it isn't a year older.. image

    Edit: I also very much like the look of the Mercury dime!

    Great Half Dime. Looks like it is in great condition.

    Those large date numerals on the half dime are cool. Looks like they used the numeral punches for a dime.

    I agree with the others....very nice half dime!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
