Been a couple of weeks since I could get out. What a day 5 silvers and bucket lister. 1919 merc, 1927 merc, 1944 war nickel,1944 quarter and a 1954 Franklin half. 4 wheats and 1960s pocket spill. 3 nickels and 2 dimes. Was mad about the make up case it had the China doll face when I dug it. Plus other relics.

Sorry to hear you have not been swinging the coil for a couple week. You sure came back with a BANG!!! :headbang: 5 silvers, wow :notworthy: I have never pulled that many in one hunt. The Franklin remains on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

Nice going. Although Franklin halves are newer, they're much harder to find than Walkers. They didn't make them for many years and they didn't circulate much. Way to go knocking one off the bucket list.
