Finally Found One !

[E-Trac-Ohio]

I was out looking at a few jobs the other day and I had time for a quick one hour hunt in between estimates.
I stopped to hunt an old section of sidewalk and found a coin that has eluded me for over 14 years.

I've been lucky enough to find (34) Half Dollars.
(8) Walking Liberty's and (26) Kennedy's - but not one single Ben Franklin.
Till today - a solid 97 on the Deus.

Good Hunting !

Awesome!!!!! Congrats!!!! It’s funny I started detecting in 1989, and it wasn’t until last year that I finally found one. Wait, then I ended up with two that year!!!! So hope the same Luck comes Your way too!!!
Ol’ Ben was a White Whale for a loooong time !! Happy Hunting!!!!

The elusive Ben! Nice work

Nice one, good things come to those who wait.
So they say. 😆

 

[Underwonder]

Frankly it’s Ben years of detecting and never found one either…You must be as high as a kite! Congratulations!

It seems to me that finding a Franklin half happens much less than finding Walkers. I know they were only minted for 15 years compared to double that for Walkers, but even so, I hardly see them posted. Took me forever to find one, and that's been it, one in 31+ years. Congrats for knocking it off your bucket list!

 

[jewelerguy]

very nice. congrats!

 

[devldog]

Great save. Now you have one. Well Done.

 

[djackson7348]

Congrats. Nice find. I have always suspected coins of that size and value were seriously looked for if dropped by someone, hence the scarcity. My own experiences have solidified that theory.

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

I always thought that some of the larger coins like the Half Dollars and Dollars could have dropped in the Winter time when and where there's snow on the ground ?

Congratulations!

Congrats on your bucket lister E-Trac. I'm in the same boat. I have found 22 Half Dollars - 4 Kennedy's, 15 Walking Libs, and 3 Barbers, but still no Benny. I know I'll walk over one some day soon.

 

[McKinney_5900]

What fe-co numbers did the Etrac give on the half?

That one’s been eluding me too as well as a half dime and a 2 cent piece. Nice work!!!!!
