Wow! What a hunt today! I dug out a 1917-S Walking liberty half dollar out of an old park! About 5 hours later I dug a 1958-D Franklin
half from a median strip! In 30 years of hunting I never found two silver halves on the same day! Also dug out a 1945-P silver nickel, 8 wheat
pennies, and a 1921 dog tag. Yesterday I dug 3 silver dimes and some more wheaties! So its been an awesome couple of days!

I'd say that was a great couple of days. I've only dug 2 halves and '73 is the oldest, still waiting for silver ones to show their faces.

I want to congratulate you on the same experience I had earlier this month. To find one silver half is incredible but to find 2 in the same hunt is unreal.

Sweet day by any standard. I was rooting for you to have a mintmark under the date on that walker. Oh well, I found a 1917-s with the S where yours was too...

Congrats!

Awesome hunts! Two Halves in one day is something special! I did it earlier this summer with a Walker & Franklin as well. I thought I would never pull two in the same hunt and dug them back to back within 15' of each other. Big Congrats on your halves and other great finds! That dog tag is a nice old one too. :icon_thumleft:

Wow, I love your photo illustrations. That's a great way to always remember exactly where you dig something. I may have to start doing that on my more memorable finds.
