1906 Abandoned House

[AussieOkie]

Got permission to hunt an abandoned 1906 house. Amazed how few signals there were. Must have been hunted numerous times over the years.
I did break my silver drought though.
First hit was what looked like a half dollar, though very crusty and looked like clad.
Wasn't till I got it home, and after 10 tin foil, baking soda treatments, discovered it was a 1953 D Franklin Half Dollar!
I hit a Mercury Dime 1919, a 1946 wheatie, and just a handful of 70's lincolns.
A Palmolive token.
Assorted other bits and pieces, including a nice square nail.
****update I did some more work on the purple car underneath. It's a Tootsietoy Purple 1955 Jaguar D-Type Race Car, USA. ****

First two photos, the Franklin before cleaning.

You did good! Congrats on the Franklin Half! That is one coin that still eludes me. I have been detecting for 40+ years and still haven't found one. You did a good job of cleaning that one. It was hardly recognizable before.

:congrats:

Thanks. 🖒🖒 Yes, it was so encrusted I couldn't tell what it was except for being a half, thought it was clad. I was very excited after about it's 4th dip in the pool to see silver. First Franklin for me as well [emoji4]

Looks like that Franklin might have been in a fire. Nice job on the cleaning!

Nice finds and nice work on resurrecting the Franklin .Those dog tags look like ones from the San Mateo county of California , they wouldn't happen to be from there , would they ? Welcome to the forum .
