And 195, !!! Holy cow! Do you work?
That's a sizzling hot pace man !!! Keep it up.

Thanks! I'm retired. I've only been out detecting 68 times so far this year and most of the hunts, were around 3 hours or so. I've learned to pace myself to keep from getting burned out. I'm really going to slack off this Summer, so I'll be ready to get after it big time this Fall and Winter when it cools off.

Thanks! I'm lucky to have the time and great places to detect.
Thanks! Actually finding a silver half is easy once you get your search coil over one.

Right but something to look for.the general circulation ones were not S mint marks. But ALL the ones that are marked san Francisco are silver. I found one and it was a S mint mark. Had it looked at and sure enough it was a silver. I just didn't know b4 that that all the S mint marks were silver.Only the collectors coins were silver. The ones in general circulation were the copper/nickel mix like all the rest of the clad.
Some kid probably took it and didnt know. I was surprised it was in the ground
