Fisrt Franklin half and large cent in same day woohoo!

[Cutaplug]

Had a great day last week. Got my first Franklin half and large cent in the same day. Large cent really surprised me because it was a bust and it's really hard to find coins that old in Missouri.

Way to go RC, Great finds. Today is going to be 60 degrees here in MO so I'm going hunting for sure and I bet you are too. Good Luck Jeff in St. Charles

It shocked me when I finally saw what it was. Oldest coin so far and no date lol.

Ya looks like a beautiful day out! Purchasing another detector today so will have fun testing it out =) Supposed to be pretty all week so can hopefully get some good hunting time in.

Congratulations on the big silver Franklin half and that bust large cent is totally awesome and thanks for the cool video of the coins coming out of the ground, seeing silver in a big dirt clod like that gives me spring fever can't wait till the ground thoughts so I can get back out there and do some digging myself.

Don't think I will ever outgrow the etrac =) Might upgrade some day but the etrac is killing it now so no need to change unless I stop finding silvers. Plus after watching some vids and seeing feedback I don't think I'm leaving many coins behind for the ctx if any. Purchased a Tesoro Vaquero for deeper woods hunts. Needed something extremely light and easy to break down and put in a pack. Will us it as a scouting machine. It's really basic but powerful at the same time. A great beep/dig machine and if I find a good spot will bring the trac back later.
