Big Silver Sunday, another FIRST

[looknforgold]

Had a very busy day yesterday as I hunted in the mid morning to the mid early afternoon with some good hunts in the bag. got home, posted my finds from during the week, and today...well, I'm posting my Sunday finds. had a real nice hunt as I found a first for me, a Ben Franklin Half Dollar (1951).

Even though I have found a few Walkers, I've been wanting to find a Franklin, and yesterday I did. found it about 4 inches deep in a shallow grass root system. all one had to do was just barley turn the soil in this high traffic area, and they would have found it, but she's mine now. The rest of my finds included a '24 "D" Mercury,  a '61 Rosie, a '75 Dog Tag, an old baby Spoon and 7 wheat's...... Thanks for looking, DirtDiga

better let that Trac cool off a bit, you don't want to over heat it finding all that silver!

PS..... Think I've found 8 walkers, 1 seated half, 1 barber half, 2 Kens. Only 2 Ben's after 23yrs? For whatever reason they don't come up often enough? Anyways....nice find!!!!!!

Those big 'ole halve's don't come along very often! Congrat's!

I agree with oneguy, silver halves are scarce. Congrats on the Franklin!

Nice job!
