My First Silver In '05 Plus...

Stopped at a park after work today that I have hunted at many times before and found these items. Despite being over 100 years old this is only the second silver coin I have found there, the first being a mercury dime. Upon arrival I noticed that they had cleared the underbrush in a wooded section and decided to head over there to see what I could find. Swinging my detector along the way I was about halfway there when I looked over and saw the pocket watch laying on the surface. I bent down, picked it up and slid it into my pocket and proceeded toward the trees. I found the key and the Franklin half dollar in that area. Finding the watch was great but silver just gives me a thrill (the older and/or bigger the better). Just wanted to share with everyone. HH.
