First silver half - May 6

[Michiganne]

Hi all:

Colleen and I hooked up Thur. for a few hours at the secret site. The evening got off to a promising start when her very first signal was a wheat penny. Soon after I dug a '57 Jefferson nickel. Colleen was happy to dig her first nickel, an early Jefferson. I followed with a '54 silver Roosevelt. Near the end of the evening I headed over to some fresh ground and managed a wheatie in some aluminum scraps. Soon after I got a good signal and was thrilled to dig my first Franklin half, a 1953. Colleen ended up with her nickel, two wheats and a clad penny and did very well for a rookie. (It's a trashy place.) It was a fun night and there's still more ground to pound.

Later at home my 9YO son said, "Mom, I'm proud of you!" which I thought was cute.

HH,
Michiganne

Big congrats on your first half Anne Them Ben Franklins seem to be a tough half dollar to find too.

When you dig a Benji its like a party in your chest! That's a great feeling that does not come around to often! Congrats on that wise old silver.

That's a great find. Believe it or not, I've found 6 half dollars and everyone has been silver, no clad ones. 1 barber, 4 walkers, 1 kennedy...but no FRANKLINS. Again, congrats on the find. Deerhunter24
