Yesterday she was sitting, today she's walking!!

I didn't find a single silver Half Dollar last year and now I've gotten two in two days. Today I pulled this 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar out of an elementary school in Western Ohio. The coin was less than two inches deep and I sure ric'd the coin, but still happy about the find!! Funny thing is, this is my long work day and its going to be an 18 hour Sunday starting and I have to start Saturday evening just to finish at a decent time. So between stores I always drive by this school and decided to give it a quick 30 minutes. Three quarters and a Walker later I'm back to work. One good thing is I also drive by the house so stopped to post my find. Its nothing great, but recently for me these halves are hard to come by!!

I found a 42 Walker last month in a farm field. They're a nice hunk of silver. Congrats :thumbsup:

Awesome Jack! :thumbsup:

I don't think I've ever had a back to back silver half dollar days! :notworthy:

How do you figure the half was so shallow? Maybe the ground had been dug up/trenched at one time?

Wow, it's raining half dollars on the forum lately! There's so many posted I can barely keep up!

I have yet to find silver in the ground so I am living vicariously though everyone here. But that is one sweet coin though! Congrats! :thumbsup:

I think it was possibly lost by a child who either brought it for show and tell or "borrowed it" from Dads collection!! I think this is a first for me too Dan, finding 2 silver Halves back to back!! I noticed alot of Halves in the last couple days and love every picture posted of them!!

Both your detectors are quite capable of finding them, so its just a matter of time before you find one and can't wait to see it when posted...maybe this year
