Most of us have a list of coins/items that we would like to find...but is there one item you thought for sure you'd have dug by now? I haven't found any 20th century half dollars. Happy holidays all, Drew

No half dollars, no half dimes, and no gold coin. I dig all signals in old house sites as well.
One find at a time.
A Seated Half Dime.
I've found fish scales (Canadian five cent), but not a U.S. Seated.
The Best That You Know Is The Best That You've Had
A two cent piece is on my list.
A nice British Rev War regimental button...
I've been detecting colonial sites for quite a while now and have many "have not found but should have by now" items ,
an iron horse stirrup
a liberty cap large cent
a decorative watch winder (a few plain ones)
a musket ram rod guide
any kind of campaign medal or token
a Spanish 1 or 2 reale coin

- a silver thimble
- MA copper
Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank
"He who would search for pearls must dive below."
I have found hundreds of silver coins but never a SLQ!? 4 half-dimes but no SLQ! Go figure.
Oldest Coin: 100-60 BC Gallic bronze coin (Sequani Tribe)
Oldest Silver Coin: 1156 hammered Pfennig from (now) Bavaria
Oldest U.S. coin: 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent
Best Coins EVER: 1625 4 Sols from Kingdom of Chateau Renaud, France
1662 15 Kreuzers, Leopold I, Austria
Best Relics: Bronze Age Arrowheads & Spearhead, 2c Roman silver ring, complete medieval knight's spur (x6)

Planning on planting finds for people, drew? Lol.
Judging by one place I hunted being used since 1658, and a colonial home, and two old schools I hit, I would have thought anything before 1900. I'm not picky
