Wow! What a hunt today! I dug out a 1917-S Walking liberty half dollar out of an old park! About 5 hours later I dug a 1958-D Franklin
half from a median strip! In 30 years of hunting I never found two silver halves on the same day! Also dug out a 1945-P silver nickel, 8 wheat
pennies, and a 1921 dog tag. Yesterday I dug 3 silver dimes and some more wheaties! So its been an awesome couple of days!

Yeah! That's an awesome couple of days for sure!
 

I'd say that was a great couple of days. I've only dug 2 halves and '73 is the oldest, still waiting for silver ones to show their faces.
 

YOU WERE AS BUSY AS A ONE ARM PAPER HANGER. DANG WHAT A BUNCH OF FINDS...
 

Great hunt!!!! Would kill for a two half kinda day!!!:occasion14:
 

You had a much better 2 days than I have had in all of 2015
 

you just keep killing it on the finds! good job on all that silver!
 

Wow! :occasion18::blob3::blob9::blob6::occasion18: Congrats on your busy wonderfully productive days! :notworthy: Your photo display is one of the best ever, thanks! :notworthy:
Keep on having fun! With your big array of detectors, I envision you detecting as an eight-arm octopus clearing out the park! :laughing7: Andi
 

I want to congratulate you on the same experience I had earlier this month. To find one silver half is incredible but to find 2 in the same hunt is unreal.
 

Nice going on all those silvers. Heck of a hunt.
 

Those are some great finds, & the park you hunted in has some beautiful scenery.
 

Sweet day by any standard. I was rooting for you to have a mintmark under the date on that walker. Oh well, I found a 1917-s with the S where yours was too...

Congrats!

Steve
 

Congrats on pulling all those keepers in 2 days. :occasion14: You sure know where to hunt and have mastered your detector.
 

1.05 face is a great day in anyone's book.
Good job I've been off for some weeks now I need a day like that !!
 

Congrats on a couple of really good days! Two halves in one day... wow! Very well done.
 

Awesome hunts! Two Halves in one day is something special! I did it earlier this summer with a Walker & Franklin as well. I thought I would never pull two in the same hunt and dug them back to back within 15' of each other. Big Congrats on your halves and other great finds! That dog tag is a nice old one too. :icon_thumleft:
 

Those are two very productive hunts :icon_thumleft:. I love all the pictures and the writing explain where you found those great finds. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Cheers, Dan.
 

Wow, I love your photo illustrations. That's a great way to always remember exactly where you dig something. I may have to start doing that on my more memorable finds.
