Great day with a bucket list big silver!

Hey guys its been a little while since I have posted, as some of you know, ive been working vigorously on a 2 story addition on my house and havent been out much, needed a break today so i met up with a few friends at a yard and found a hotspot of wheats and decided to focus on that area, came away with fantastic results for 2 hrs, got 3 roosies, 11 wheats, 2 arcade tokens, and the find of the day a 1962 Franklin half, one on my bucket list! since my time is so limited this season so far, I hope to have a few more hunts like this!, thanks for looking and hh!!

Great hunt. I'm still looking for my first Franklin. I've dug Barbers, Walking liberties and a silver Kennedy but Ben refuses to show his face !!!

Good way to scratch that itch Chris. Wouldn't it be nice to have breaks turn out like that more often?

hmmm....looks like I started a trend.

Very nice saves indeed!

Excellent shape too!

I like it!!! That's the way to get silver!!

Looks like it was a great outing.

Thanks guys, I was down in the dumps as my friends are already up to 10+ silvers and around 100 wheats for the year, I'm gaining on them lol!

thanks ed!, before this I only had 2 halves, a walker and barber, now I need a seated, bust, and that pesky Kennedy half to complete the list!

Baby steps I suppose lol

Thanks dave, you know me when I'm in a slump, man this made my day, week, month, etc!, I wish they all could be like this!!

thanks gary!, funny thing is the 1st thing I thought of when I was done dropping the f bomb was the one you just posted as ya just don't see them that often!

Think I can get ya to go pop a bust half or a seated half sometime soon, that might help our odds lol

No problem!, crazy right? I had no doubt it was a half when I saw the thick rim In the hole, I called my buddy over for the reveal, I recorded it but dropped the f bomb in the video so I didnt post it

You could still post the vid. That's why they invented the "bleep".

thank you A2!, I kinda wish I just paid someone to do it, I work full time and monkey around with the addition on the side so my detecting time takes a major hit
