First Frankin Half

Got out out for a few hours the other day and freestyled.  I didn't have a site to go so I headed to an area that I have always wanted to detect around. I drove around until I found a site, saw some folks to talk to, and got permission to dig.  I guy I talked to said the area had been detected before so I concentrated in areas that they might have missed.  The strategy paid off.  I found my first Franklin 1/2 Dollar.  It is a 1951 with no mint mark.

I also found a 1943 Mercury Dime.

 

My better finds also include:

• 3 1950s wheat cents
• 17 modern cents
• $2.00 in clad quarters
• 1964 nickel
• A ring (not silver)
• A old fuse
• 7 clad dimes
• Glasses
• A key (I always seem to find keys)
• I also found lots of iron rings, a reigns guide, lots of iron chunks, and foil/aluminum.

The Franklin 1/2 and the Merc.

Looking for sites that we can metal detect

We are looking for sites to metal detect in the East TN/SW VA area.  If you have some land, an old house, or an old house site that you would allow us to access we would appreciate it.  Email me at outdoorswithbill@gmail.com.

Thanks!
