<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 4871932, member: 101265&quot;]Well I have two. Both are metal detecting finds. </p><p><br /></p><p>One is a 1940 Irish half pound. I found it at a 150 year old mansion, buried right beside the front steps. Because of my Scotch Irish roots and the fact that thete was a hole drilled through it, my wife urged me to have a bezel added to it so I could wear it with a very heavy silver chain I had found. So it is worn around my neck. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin was found at another private property. This lot had never been developed but nestled among a number of waterfront mansions that dated to the early 1900s. The lot was covered with tall weeds, sapling trees and many many fallen limbs from hurricane near misses. Hunting it was a real challenge and I found nothing. Exhausted I was preparing to leave when I noticed 2 mammoth oak trees in the center of the lot that somehow I had missed. I never pass by huge trees and I worked my way to the first and struggled my way around it, finding nothing. </p><p>Then I managed to work my way to the second and deadfall limbs surrounded it too. I made my way around it and at the last foot or two I got a very strong signal. Popped out a 1906 O Barber half dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>my first Barber and my first half dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>I designated it my lucky token and take it to every poker game I play in. Good choice too as my winnings have greatly escalated and my losses have dropped.
