NO....the half dollars were not silver.....but a very nice day for record number of clad. Found 3 Kennedy Clad Halfs, 67 clad quarters, 61 clad dimes, and 45 memorial pennies......Total 176 coins, total value $24.80.
These were all found at a SW Georgia School football field, using my Whites Coinmaster Pro. I do not use a pin pointer.

Note: This is my 2nd time at this spot....last Sunday I also found a lot of clad, and a 1913-D Barber Quarter near the goal line.....But no silver today...sigh!!

Wow great day for you, go back and pound that place until you clean it out, LOL
 

That's a nice hunk of change for a day's detecting. WTG!
 

WOW- Thats a lot of digging /bending over etc ,I would be sore as heck tomorrow , plus in over 10 years of mding I have never dug a half that was not silver.
 

nice score!
 

It's already been said but Wow......that is a busy day. Great finds.
 

Assuming there was only one coin in each hole...176 holes is an insane hunt! Way to go! You have all of my respect for working as hard as you did. Great silver finds coming your way, dude!
 

ACE.....thanks for the encouragement.......My hunting buddy, John and I started at 7am; 40 minute drive, and was on the field by 8am....packed our lunch....took a couple of water breaks, 15 minute lunch.....and finished at 5pm.....and yes, found just a few multiple dime and quarter drops. I am retired, 71, good health, and have a very understanding wife, married over 50 years.

My hunting buddy, John found 1 Clad Half, 30 clad quarters, 54 clad dimes, a bunch of nickels.....and tons of pennies....He digs everything.....and He did find a couple of junk rings.......but we make a good team....He is 20 years my junior, and he digs ALL non-iron targets, and I run high discrimination to reduce my number of targets, and together we "clean out" an area pretty good....BUT as we All know, an area is NEVER completely cleaned out....and there are "new" drops in a school area daily.....Good Luck!!

HH.....Bill
 

I've never scored that much clad in one hunt. Nice score.
