    Something big!

    Two weeks ago. I finally dug my first silver half dollar, a 1951-D Franklin Half, from the edge of the park. Also, I dug a 1918 wheat in the same area. It was a good day.

    Very nice Franklin, I'm still searching for my 1st. I am assuming that the park would be in western MA.

    Oh momma! She's a beauty. <:
    For some reason you just don't see many of the Franklins being found. They are definitely a nicely designed coin.
    A big congrats to you anotherpulltap.

    They're out there, but they have to be under your coil first. Keep swinging and you'll get one of them. It took me two years.
