Including my oldest find a 46' Wheatie. I found an 1884 penny in my pasture but not with a MD.

30 Halves in one hunt Wow. I've yet to find even one.

I went to Colorado a few times when I was a kid and noticed that we got halves back in change all the time. Where I live, you almost never see them, not then and not now.

You did good. That may be a record of some kind.
Plus, over 25 bucks in clad is really good. My record is about 7 bucks for one hunt.

If people are dropping that much at that particular tot lot, you should definitely go back. There may be some nice jewelry hiding in there somewhere.
Congrats.

Holy cow! I've never found a half either.

Wow you must have been moving on that hunt! That's a target about every 30 seconds, give or take a few coin spills.

Congrats!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Wow! That's a lot from a tot lot! Incredible! Congrats!

Maybe a kid brought his piggy bank there and then lost it?

I have yet to score a half in a play area, I think I may start a protest the kids here need bigger allowances!

Yeah all sand, couple of spills, and a target every foot. I wore out my pro pointer.

Looks like its all down hill from a hunt like this then , good luck ! You have depleted all the half dollars in that area probably.

Think I got my last half three years ago here.

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Wow, are any of them Half Dollars 1965 to 1970, if they are they are 40 percent silver. 1964 is 90 percent silver. Are they all Kennedy Halves ?

I found 2 clad halves in the same month last year and everyone said that was unheard of.....then you do this! Wow.

 

[barr75a]

Awesome! How rich are these tots? LoL guess I better go check these places out

 

[rodarian]

That's just mind boggling. Looks as if no one has ever swung a metal detector there, ever! You have to go back for the deeper stuff. How long has the tot lot been there?

 

[Higgy]

Finding a mess o' clad is way better than a kick in the face!

 

[g-olden years]

Monster Super Day!

Didja notice we're all jealous? If the tot lot is part of a park, advise you to pound the entire park to see what mommy & daddy lost too. Andi

 

[Higgy]

Finding a mess o' clad trumps crusty toasted zincolns any day!

 

[46Wheat]

Holy crap I found 8 LCs this summer and a morgan but not one single half . You wiped the halves out that hunt good job , and again Holy crap

 

[mikeraydj]

Nice find. Big coin spills are out there. Last week I posted a nickel spill, 168 of them. Half dollars in that quantity is unheard of. Congrats!
