FEATURED WEB PAGE: 1792 HALF DISME DUG UP IN VIRGINIA

This week's Featured Web Page is a 2006 page from a treasure hunter's web forum picturing a 1792 Disme found with a metal detector.

Today was the highlight of my 22 years of detecting. My buddy Dale and I went relic hunting today. We hit a nice cleared site and began finding both union and confederate relics. After awhile I got a signal that hit like a bullet on my Explorer. I was surprised to see a silver coin in my dirt pile. At first I thought I had dug a Spanish silver but after looking more closely I knew I had something very rare. A couple years ago I dug a 1916 D Mercury dime but that doesn't compare to this 1792 Half Disme. This is a day I will never forget nor will ever top.
