Walking with Mr. Franklin & Miss Liberty at the Happy Trails site
Hi all,
Well Gary and I got out Black Friday and today, Sunday, and Boy what a Great Two days.
I was walking along and got a signal, my ACE 250 said it was a Half Dollar, I thought to myself, yeah right. I dug down 6 inches and Bam!, it was a Walking Liberty Half Dollar, man you could have blown me over with a feather. I couldn't believe it. Gary and I had been over this area a million times and today the ground was just funny, giving up all kinds of goodies. Going around the same area, thinking if there was one Half, their must be another. I got another signal and it said it was another Half Dollar. Man this can't be, but it was around 6-8 inches in the ground, so anything that deep, I'm digging. Heck I dig all signals whatever depth, but the ones that say 4 inches or deeper, get my blood boiling. I dug and dug, thenon the side I got a singal with my Sun Ray probe and there it was, the edge of a big coin. To my surprise it was a 1943 Franklin Half Dollar.
My other finds for the two days were as follows. I found a 1945 Mercury Dime, 3 Indian Head penny's 1901, 1902 & 19??. I also found 7 wheat penny's 1911, 1926 D, 1937, '45, '56D, '58, & 1957. I also found a Sterling Silver 5 year Mercy Service pin and a key.
Gary found 2 Large Cents, no dates, 2 V-Nickels 1898 & 189?, 1 Indian head penny, no date, 4 Wheat penny's 1926, '41, '43 & 1953. He also found 2 Roosevelt dimes, both 1964 and 1 Mercury Dime 1943.
All in all, I think the moon must have been right, cause the ground was giving up some good finds this weekend.
Hope you all had good luck also.
