Congratulations on your first Half Dollar. Those are harder to find because they are so hard to lose in the first place!

Good job! I found my first and only a while ago, it rang up as a 91 on my AT Pro. I thought it was a can or junk. What a suprise!

Kennedy was on my wish list until recently too...here's hoping that your second is 1886!

Good job, those are as rare as silver halves for me. I've found 3 clad halves and 3 silver ones. Just wait until you see a silver one in the soil...It's amazing.
