So I am thinking they lied...

[Detecting Fool]

when they told it was hunted out. Went to the park again lastnight and got my very first Franklin half dollar. I almost wasn't going to dig because it was only 1 1/2 inches down and was thinking it was an Arizona Iced Tea bottle cap. Found a couple more wheat cents too, nothing special, and right next to the half dollar, was a silver charm with Mary on it. Pretty neat to dig back to back silver finds. Well, I went back tonight and found a ring. It was about 10 feet from the half dollar and charm. Funny that one of the people stopped last night that told me previously that he had hunted the park out, and I told him all the stuff that he missed. He stomped off muttering that he was going to come back tonight with his detector, but he did not show up. So far I would say I have put less then 2 hours into this park. Guess I should pull an all day hunt soon.

Ive never found a walking liberty either. Or a Kennedy for that matter. But I have found Barbers before. I usually hunt pre-1900 sites.

I think i'd tell the guy he's right about it being hunted out. And when he's gone keep on diggin the silver.
Like yankee says, i've dug 7 walking lib. halves to 6 franklins over the years. And none since i started detecting again approx. 6 months ago. Great find!!! HH

Yep, it did. If you look real close, you can see at the top where I scratched it. I found it in an area that used to be a gravel road in the park, that is now grown over with grass. Did not know it was gravel underneath, and thought I was just going to be digging an Arizona Iced Tea bottlecap so I was not careful. Luckily, I already have a 1952 Franklin in my coin collection, so its now just a duplicate.
