Hi Gang,

I got permission to detect at an old house (1900s era) in Yellow Springs Oh. Jeff and I found a little clad and I found two silver coins.
Unfortunately, there are dings on the rim of the Half, otherwise it would be worth over $40.

Half's are a rare find, so I was really pleased to see it pop up. This is only the third silver coin this year.

I guess finding old houses is the answer--but then you have to...ASK!

1. Walking Liberty Half 1918-D
