Went back to that older ballpark I had researched and hunted part of yesterday. I'll be damned if I didn't hit ANOTHER Ben Franklin half. This one's a 1954. Yesterdays was a 1953. Here's some pictures of them together. I hope I haven't used up all my luck! Thanks for looking.

INSANELY jealous!
I have not found a single Ben in over 7 years of detecting
While I have found 3 Walkers, 1 Seated and 2 Barber halves and 1 Kennedy, no Ben's

Two hunts... Two Franklin Halves !

Time to buy that lottery ticket !!! With that kind of luck, you are on a roll. Only found a few of them in all my years of detecting. Congratulations !! And keep on hitting that field.

Wow!! Really nice! I haven't found anything larger than a quarter...I'd be losing my mind to find one silver half, let alone two on back to back hunts! Nicely done!

Wow Ben x 2 in two days, that might have been somewhat common 35-40 years ago, but now? Big congratulations to you sir!
