Ray R. of Hyde Park found this roman coin on his first trip to France with a Headhunter. Identified as Emperor Valens who ruled from 364 to 378 AD.

While the Merlin probe didn't help me find this 1912 Barber Half (found today, my first half ever!!!!!),it did help me find a 1904 Indian Head. Thanks for the good advice, Gary! As for how I found the 1912 Barber, I was granted permission to detect at my vet's home in Pine Bush, my vet told me that the original house was built around the 1860's and as you can imagine I leapt at the chance! Once I got there I decided to work the side of the house were a huge old tree dominated the landscape, no grass grew under or around the tree and the ground was compact and hard like clay. After finding a few wheat cents and some newer clad coins, my XLT rang out with a loud good half/dollar signal at only about 1.5 inches down. I might add that in my 3 years of detecting, I have gotten numerous signals such as this only to be disappointed by trash. Something told me though DIG THIS TARGET. Now there was no grass here so I got out my hand trowel and slowly dug around the area I had pinpointed, as I picked up chunks of dirt I saw a silver edged disc sticking out. I sat there for a moment not sure what to do next! I reached in and brought the coin out, seeing the size of the coin and turning it over, reading the words HALF DOLLAR, I was stunned!!!! My first half, absolutely amazing! Now I KNOW why I love this hobby so much! Thanks again, David Adams
