DFX -10x12 SEF, 300mm, 10"DD, 6x10DD, Sunray DX-1
I got a call from Rootmaster that he and my grandson were up at the local park. I had just finished dinner so I thought.."what the heck", I could get in an hour before darkness fell. Was just digging the usual clad when I walked over to where the parents sit to watch the little leaguers. I hit a weird 67 VDI on the DFX and looked down and saw something shiny. I thought it couldn't be foil with that VDI and reached down to pick it up. To my surprise it was a Franklin half, 2 new nickels and 2 pennies in a pile.

Grats on the silver ;D

Only thing I can think of is some kid was playing with his allowance, and wandered off. Though who gives 62 cents as allowance these days? ???

are any of those dimes siver. or those quarters ???
 
The Ben Franklin is one of my all-time favorites. I still remember my grandmother giving one to me for my birthday one time.
 
Real nice Franklin half!!
 
Nice find, no better way to get silver than just picking it up!! Congrats!
 
You really don't see Ole' Ben around here too often LF56......this one look's sweet.Congrat's :thumbsup:
 
great find WTG :thumbsup:
 
My dad forgot to mention that I said "hey if you wanna dig clad go over by where the parents sit and go nuts" I was over there twice right before a game started and got pushed out. When he found it he yelled over to me "did you put this here???" When I saw it I was like "hell no I wouldn't put something so nice there for you to scoop up without even digging". Truth is I was thinking of planting a 50 cent piece somewhere... but it just didn't seem right. I had a pocket full of them that night - albeit clad.

Really nice hunk of silver daddio!
 
Congrats on the Franklin! I'm still looking for my first. Keep up the good work, and HH!
