So many of you know enough about my hunting exploits and series of finds that this statement should come as a surprise...BUT, today I finally found a Franklin Half Dollar. Believe it or Not, I have never found/dug a Franklin half dollar, I have found plenty of quarters, a seated, Walkers, Morgans, etc. but never a Franklin.
Today was the day, plus a cool Coventry Silver Spoon ring and 6 Wheaties (oldest is 1946S).
The Franklin was dug in front of a church that has been there since the 1920s and surprisingly was only about 3" down. You could say it was a fresh drop but the raw picture after finding it indicates that the signal was too good but too shallow for anyone else to dig it (or maybe folks haven't hunted this neighborhood in a long time).
Great quick hunt to break up my workday hours.
HH and GL All!!!
