Default Silver Half!!

Went back to the ball field where I found those two rings this morning, and after about 1.5 hours of nothing but clad and trash, bing, there's a wheat. Searching the area carefully, I get another sweet ping... this time it's a 1963D Franklin Half from about 9 inches!!!

This is a first for me, so excuse the excitement!! It's been a good day!

Happy Hunting everyone!

Thumbs up Congratulations

Wow - it's been so long since I have seen a real half dollar I had forgotten Franklin was on the last ones.
Congratulations! That was an incredible find.
I salute your insight in picking a great hunting site.
