    Terrific finds! I've been detecting on and off for 40+ years and I still haven't found a Franklin half!

    That Ceylon 2 cent piece is really cool too!

    Nice find with that franklin and the rest of the silvers. It was a tad hard to pinpoint where that coin was from. Looks a lot like a coin from the Bahamas I have, but I think it was the Bombay mint making it from India.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
