7th 50 cent piece in 32 years

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose....well Saturday saw the heavens open up on the ballfield which ended the national qualifing tournament after only 3 games. Man it was brutal doing those three games with Sunday being a washout...literally!
Took this time to spend with the boss and do a bit of Sunday shopping which is just starting in our area. So much for the Lord's Day Act!
After that and a tea at Tim's I was free to go play in the mud and so I did hitting the Dingle.

Of course this bouy was in such a rush to go play in the rain that I forgot to take the bug spray from the umping bag and put it in the digging bag so I was a mobile buffet for the bugs in the woods. My first target was a modern copper followed by this

That was only the 7th 50 cent piece that I have found in 32 years at this hobby. Delighted I continued a digging but out of the woods as my face had more welts on it than a 13 year old who had eaten a dozen chocolate bars. Hope those bugs get alcohol poisoning!
After finding 4 loonies in one hole in the tall grass and a pair of derilict dinkies I called it a day. End result for the day was a cd, which I'll clean and see whats on it, 2 dinkies, the 50 cent piece and 14 coins at $4.63
Of course to celebrate I picked up my Bud and 7 friends on the way home at the Olands Cold Beer Store!

I have dug up two 50 centers. both this month and two weeks apart, funny thing is that they were found 10 feet apart from each other. Neither were silver but the last one was a bi-centenial 1776-1976 half dollar piece. My oldest daughter was with me and I gave it to her.....HH....Bill
