Nice finds. Great job on the Franklin half. I don't normally coin hunt but have always wanted to dig a "Bugs Bunny" Franklin half. The heart shaped brass harness buckle cover is a design that existed during the CW and you can still buy one today. Hopefully, you'll dig a CW bullet in that area. HH, Quindy.
