I forgot I also found a 1928 half crown that was in a spill.My first silver coin was a 36 walker, then 366 days later I found a seated 1856 half.
This year I found 3 silver halves, one being a 1904 Barber.
Looking for BIG BEN to complete the collection.
Maybe next season.....?

1895-O Barber, 1937 Walker, and 1950-D Franklin. Also found a worn mid-80's Eisenhower Dollar I carry for "good luck".

That's crazy...Thought they were rare since no-one carries them anymore

I've found around 20 halves in the last 5 years. Mostly modern Kennedy halves, a few Bicentennials and even a few silver ones. Only 1 Eisenhower dollar but many modern dollar coins. They are few and far between but every once in a while a silver one will pop up. Got this one last month. Good luck and happy hunting!

One old silver dollar, four or five clad halves, several various other dollar coins but never, not even one silver half so far. Go figure!

I have found two Walkers, two Benjamin's, maybe a half dozen non silver Kennedy's, two Ikes and one Peace dollar.
Hard to believe that back in the day people used to carry these heavy coins around all the time...but they did.

Probably 50-70 dollar coins (gold presidential or Sacajawea)
3 Ike's
And about a dozen Kennedy halves.
Only one silver. A walking Liberty.
Amazingly, I find halves and dollars pretty regularly I newwrt parks and sports fields. I think a lot of refs use them for coin flips.

Have dug several Barber halves, dozen Walkers and couple Franklins. Morgan and Peace dollar each.
From 2009-2014 I found 500+ silver halves from rolls including an 1894 Barber, Walkers and dozens of Franklins.
Folks carried large silver back then because it's purchasing power was ten times what our money is today.

One clad half I found near a football field parking area I think a referee must have parked, near there and dropped it, one side was painted red
