1854-O Seated Half Dollar

[Clad2Silver]

On Sunday, Sue and I hunted a soccer field and had a nice day with clad....57 coins worth $7.36. On Monday, Veteran's Day, we hunted an old playground/ballfield that was on a street lined with very old houses. Clad finds were numerous and we dug 130 coins worth $15.54. Additionally, we each dug a Sterling silver ring, Sue's is the Turquoise one and mine is the one with the dark colored stone. We also dug five aluminum tokens.....three from Sandy's Arcade in Asbury Park, New Jersey, which are certainly a long way from home, and two Shell Oil tokens that were given out in 1969 when you bought gas. Sue's is the Ben Franklin and mine is the Byrd's flight over the South Pole. The BEST find of the day (and year) belongs to Sue....an 1854-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. She dug it on her FIRST hit of the day !!!! It's her third seated coin since 2011 when she started detecting with me and the second one this year !
