FOUND FIRST EVER BEN FRANKLIN HALF





The hot spot is still giving up silver - today I found my first ever Ben Franklin half dollar.  Was about 5 inches down and read between 89 -90.  Thought it might be a nail again but decided to dig it - glad I did.  Also found 5 wheat pennies and just over a buck in clad.  It's getting harder to find silver now - but I know it's still there.
