First BIG silver of the year ! Rings #45 & #46

[PL8MAN]

Got out this morning for 3 hours with my buddy Kevin and hunted an older school . Last week it gave up a nice silver ring so I was hoping for gold this time . The gold didn't happen but a BIG silver surprise did The first good find was a chunky 925 silver ring with an aquamarine stone . Then I found a junk ring after that , bring my ring total to #46 for the year . Then it happened . I had a +77 , +80 VDI on my MXT PRO at two inches . I was thinking dime or penny . Well I was half right , it was 4 zinc pennies on top of a silver 1964 Kennedy half dollar :happydance01: ! It's my first big silver coin of 2013 and only the 2nd 1964 Kennedy I have found in 16 years ! The other good finds were two wheats , 1937 & 1954D . Also found a Mexican and Canadian coin . I hope it's only the first and not the last of the year . Total clad was $22 .18 for the weekend . thumbsup01

I don't see that many 64 Kennedy's posted. I have one and consider myself to have found that. Nice clad count (again) and your rings are great looking.

Great finds! No, you don't see many Kennedy's, :congrats:

Great finds! I've dug a handful of Kennedy halves myself but all of the clad variety. I think yours is the first silver one I've seen posted. Congrats!

I'm with everybody else, I don't recall seeing a 1964 Kennedy Half posted on any forum. That's a great find, Glen!

In all my years of detecting I have only found one Kennedy Half, it was a 1968 forty percenter. I found it back in the early 1980s.

Beautiful silver ring you found too!

:congrats:

Hey Tony. How many years did they make the 40 percent Kennedy's? I found a 65. I thought that was the last year of the Silvers.

Kennedy Halves were 90% silver in 1964 and 40% silver from 1965-1970.

:congrats: On a great hunt. And all your Silver finds. Especially the Kennedy Half. Awesome Find, WTG!!

Your ring count is amazing. mg: Have you ever thought about opening a jewelry store? :congrats:

 

[ssserena]

Ya the 1970 half is super hard to find even going through rolls,its the most elusive of all the kennedies!

 

[PL8MAN]

Thanks everyone ! I felt more happy finding the silver Kennedy than a Walker or a Franklin thumbsup01
