So I'm pretty new to Metal Detecting. I have a Fisher F5 that I'm still learning. Yesterday was my best find so far. 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar.

Good find! I'm yet to find one of those after 6 months of hunting.
Congrats!

Those Half Dollar finds come along every once in a while enjoy any you find old coins or new. People must lose those at night to not see them in the grass. I have found several Silver and Kennedy Clad. One just a week or so ago 1979
M6 Mike convince me the Etrac or V3i is worth the extra $1,000.00 . If you are not getting down any deeper than 10 inches and finding a dime something is wrong or the coins are not there. I got a penny at 10 inches with my M6. I will go on record again My Eagle ll by Whites found dimes at 12 plus. Weak signals but I found them. The Eagle ll had a learning curve too as you could do all kinds of things with it to adjust it for hunting. And yes it had a screen and told the depth of the coin and was right on for a silver dime deep. I mostly used the preset menus. You could wave a target under the coil and discriminate it. The nicklecad battery pack was good for like 5 hours of hunting you wanted a back up pack with you. Maybe you could get 8 hours on a charge. I went at times from 8 am to 5pm or later in the evening hunting back in the 1980s with it . Last edited by Michaeltime; 10-31-2011 at 06:18 PM. Reason: did correction |

Are they worth anything but .50?

I'm no coin expert but if you Google "US coin values" you can find sites that can answer those questions quickly.

Any clad half is worth 50 cents. I keep my clad halves since they're cool and so rare. I've dug as many silver halves as clad ones if that tells you anything.
