Contest Time. I pulled a HALF DOLLAR out today. Guess The Year & Mint WINNER!!!

[DPBOB]

WaterColor, Kimsdad and I went out for a bit...My first place didn't look that good so I called it off....
We then met up at a grove that WaterColor wanted to check out....
I got 2 wheaties 1924 & 1927

Kimsdad's heart wasn't into hunting today....Maybe a long night with Mrs. Kimsdad.?
or he just wasn't feeling well....anyway...

Watercolor and I went and checked out an old homestead from the 1861 map....That I have been wanting to hit for almost a year.
That's when the Iron started to be dug....I got a cool horse bit and some buckles.
Next I pulled out THE SILVER HALF DOLLAR....then a couple IH's about ten feet away....
IH's are 1886 and 1905.....
I also got a nice spoon and a very cool stove plate....

Kimsdad's heart wasn't into hunting today....Maybe a long night with Mrs. Kimsdad.?
or he just wasn't feeling well....anyway...

Maybe it was the doe that got hit by the car & had to be shot, my headphone wire breaking, or my inner ear telling me that I'm coming down with something by making me walk in arcs to the left whenever I get up - or all three...


Congrats on the great find, Bob!!!

I wish I was there to see it come out, and I'm real glad you found it!!! WTG!
Cool spoon, too!

"HER" ? Aahhhh... you must know something... so its not Ben or JFK .. Hmmmmm....

Please don't read into what I said - Im I G N O R A N T and I can prove it!

I was using "her" as a generic term - like I call my car "her".

I wasn't there when Bob dug "it", and didn't mean to convey any hint of "its" ID - I'm in the dark!!!

I changed my response to fully gender neutral!
