That's not a mirage, it's a Franklin!
I got to hunt again this evening at a house where I've found nine silvers in the last two days. As I drove over, I noticed the moonrise to the East; it wasn't full, but it appears to be close. I should have considered it an omen, because early in the hunt I got a signal that fluctuated between 91 and 93 on my XLT. My first thought was "Half!" I pulled the plug, and there, in the hole about five inches down, was a full moon. Okay, it wasn't, but it had that look to it. The half was laying flat, big and round, and I had only to gently retrieve it. There wasn't much dirt sticking to Ben's face, so I knew I had my second Franklin. Both were found about a mile apart.
A few days ago, Mirage and I were having a discussion about the relative merits of finding half dollars; I haven't found a Kennedy yet, but I'll be happy to add this 57 and two more dimes, giving me 12 silvers in three days. There is still a lot to the site; I pulled a handful of wheats as well, including a 36D. After I clean the rest, I'll report on them if something significant is there.
