Great job!!! I love the half dollar.
 

It was a little bent and corroded. Had to use a magnifying glass to identify it. By the way, all to these items have been donated back to the chUrch for them to display.
 

It's a safe bet that this site wasn't hunted before. That's a lot of good finds. I like the fact that you donated the finds to the church to display. Very commendable. :thumbsup:
 

My wife works for the church so I was able to get permission to search several fields near the church. It definitely has not been searched before. I have found many silver coins from the 40's and 50's. I will be searching there for a long time to come.
