I went out today and knocked on some doors. Ended up at a house that used to be an old schoolhouse. Did pretty well. Found my first tootsie toy car, a dragster. Also found my first franklin half. Then I found a silver ring stamped 800. A first for me as well. The ring is one of those puzzle rings. It came out of the ground all together then fell apart as I was cleaning the dirt out of it. I still can't figure out how to put it back together again. Oh well. First great day I've had in a while.

Some neat finds, congratulations. I had one of those puzzle rings years ago. Took awhile but finally figured it out. Keep trying and you will get it.

Franklin half dollars are hard to find. They had fewer years being minted than walkers. Big silver like that is always a thrill to find . good luck to you.

Awesome day!!

Nice to knock a few first off that long list of finds. My first big silver was a Franklin too and it wasn't to long ago that I found it. Still feeling good about that one.
Nice ring too, good luck putting it back together.
