Headed out with my hunting buddy pastor Bob for some small town parks and door knocking today. Day started off a little slow with a merc dime and 1 wheatie at the first park. Then things heated up a bit at an 1800s church yard where I found a spill with 4 indian head pennies! The most old coins I have ever found in a spill. Then Bob used his magic touch to get us permission on an old house on a corner lot. My second signal was a 32/34 right by the sidewalk and out popped my first Franklin half dollar! Then I found 9 more wheat pennies and another mercury dime in the side yard! It was a great day! IMG_20190820_182611_585.jpg 20190820_180544.jpg

As someone else mentioned, you found more quality finds in one day than most of us find in an entire season. The half dollar is really a nice discovery. I have yet to find a date-readable Indian Head penny, so naturally I am impressed with you digging four at once. Congratulations!
