I Popped A Couple Of Big 'Uns

[tabman]

Today I thought I'd try a new site instead of going and looking for a man's lost wedding band. I just wasn't in a dig it all mood and that's what it's going to take to find that man's lost gold ring. At the new site, right from the get-go, I got my search coil over a nice-sounding target. The ID on the MXT-Pro was drifting back and forth slowly from 89 to 90. I knew by the smooth audio response and those ID numbers that I was going to be a happy camper. Sure enough, I popped a 1950 Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar that's in great condition. I went on to find a couple of Rosie dimes, 6 wheat pennies, and some clad coins including, a 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar before heading for the house.

Congrats on the Franklin half. They don't turn up nearly as ofthen as the Walkers. I found one myself this weekend.

I have yet to dig a Franklin half. Plenty of Walkers but, no Franklins. Nice going!

Great find Tabman. I still have not found a Franklin in all my years of detecting. That is an elusive coin.
