Been hunting a few old parks in the Dallas area the last couple weeks and I have found so far (not all in the picture) 29 quarters, 59 dimes, 4 nickels, 59 pennies, 2 wheaties (only one pictured) and my First Silver half (1957) and First Barber dime (1916). 
Hopefully sometime soon I will have my first ring for the year!
HH all, and thanks for looking!

FOR THOSE OF YOU that asked....I'm still lookin' for the rest of the dollar! lol Got excited when I was out detecting and saw part of a bill under the dirt...well, turned out to be just that piece. ANYONE seen the other part? lol

Trust me, Franklins are a lot harder to find than silver rings! Nice finds!
 

Good work!

Frozen ground here. :'(
 

Very nice finds and good luck on the ring! It will happen!!!
 

Enjoyed viewing your finds, great job. I'm sitting here with cabin fever waiting to get out and hunt. I've found plenty of rings, but still waiting for my first half.

Fantastic finds, Angela! Super sweet silver too. Keep em coming and good luck on finding a ring.

wow check you out , your doing great!!!!!! how did you find the piece of the dollar bill?

Better be careful, I think your getting hooked ;)
 

I would very happy to say I found a Franklin Half! Funny how certain coins can avoid a person, I have been hunting a few decades and still no Franklin Half, but by the same token, my son, who has been hunting almost as long as I has yet find the elusive Barber Quarter!

So your last few weeks of finds for hunting in the Dallas area sure look like you are doing great~ Now find that first ring for 2008!
;)

Those Franklin Halves seem to be rather rare. I only found one in my whole detecting career. I've been swinging detectors since 1989 or so. Congrats

Hope you find that ring next time.
