Congrat. That's the second one I have seen posted in two days. A hard coin to find.

Congrats on finding Ben.

I've gotten only one in four years of looking. Scarce bird.

Very well done sir.

That is a nice find ! Franklin halfs don't seem to get dug up too often .

They are hard to find on land. Not so much underwater. Nice piece of silver.

Dirty Ben looks real nice on your fingertips. Congrats on your first recovery of a difficult to find target.

Nice find. I'm not trying to jump on your thread but after reading the comments about your find that these are not as common as I would have believed. I've only been metal detecting two months and found the exact same coin about two weeks ago but didn't post it, thinking it was an every day occurrence that these came up. Congratulations again! It made the sweetest sound when the coil went over it. How deep did you find yours? Mine was at the base of an oak tree about 2 inches down

The Benjies are comin' out of the earth lately - good find.

Congrats on bringing Frankie into the light of day.
Well done

 

[gigispop7]
