Nice hunt!
Have dug many halves over the years and they don't survive as well as the One Penny Tokens do-for what ever reason I have no Same composite metal-but totally different outcomes.
But over all your 1/2 came out as most do from wet/clay.
Here's from a hunt day 9/18

Cool! I'm not familiar with the " dragon slayer". Great coin. Looks like a site that spans the ages. Keep at it!!
