You are killing it Mark!
 
Nice find! I have found one Franklin at a Grange Park that was founded the same year. Probably never find another but makes one happy!!!!
 
Thanks Guys at first it was a slow start I was near the water its strange most coins are up in the low water area
maybe people just did not go very deep in the water.

Nice. Big Ben is always a great coin to see. Good job on those beach/river sites you've been hitting..
Thanks Dave how’s the weather out where you are? Abel to get out yet?
Great finds those big bens must have been hoarded right from release.
Thanks yes they don’t come up often the 1964 Kennedy halves are even harder to find only found one of those
Going to have to christen your boat the coin boat Mark!

Yep it’s a neat little skiff gets in those hard to reach spots I usually wear my waders and have a push pole to get into those super shallow spots as I have to kill the motor and pole in.
