Finally! MY FIRST HALF DOLLAR!!! Yeah!

[mangum]

Hello all! I got out for about 5 hours today with a couple of buddies. We hunted an old university in SC that my buddy has permission to hunt. (and it has been pounded). The signals are few & far between, tough hunting. One of the guys said he got a good half dollar signal but under the concrete. (Wasn't anything) I was then saying "I've never found a half dollar before". I then crossed the street and within a minute I got a good signal on the curb strip. I got it out of the hole, BAM my first half! I've found some good coins but never a half. Glad I get to check this one off the list! My only other finds were a 1919 wheatie & 3 tree tags (not sure of the age). It was good to get out, find some silver & hang out with some friends. Thanks for looking & HH!

Very nice Magnum
Can't wait to get my first silver half!

Seems like you can't say/hear it enough...No matter how many times a site has been hit, there's more to be found!

It'll come! Some sites can be hunted out (sometimes after one hunt) but others keep giving and giving! The site we were at has been hunted A LOT & also has had 3 club hunts! (Probably 30-40 ppl each time) My buddy also scored a merc today & I'm sure there's more there just not easy.

I wonder where 1-20, 22, and 24 are? Haha

Ha! My buddy found a 32 & said he's found a couple more on previous hunts. No telling how many are scattered around.

Congratulations! Bet that was a sweet sounding signal! I've never found a tree tag, those are kind of neat.

Nice going on your first half. Those Franklin's are hard to find too. I've dug a number of walking liberty and barber halves, but only 1 Big Ben. Hope the next one comes very soon.

Congrats on that first Half. Still looking for my first Benji here. Halves are few and far between out here got a 1974 last year in a local schoolyard with the Cortes. Have found none since tho. CARM
