I found a 1892 Columbian Exposition Half today!!!

[treasurefiend]

Today I went out metal detecting with DDub & Lookn4seated out in the woods and this is what I found! This half was worn as a necklace as its still in the bezel, When I 1st seen it all covered in dirt I thought it was a foreign coin. This is my 2nd 1800's half in a week (other was an 1894o Barber) and were going back to metal detect that site again in the morning!!!

Man you guys must be on cloud nine right now. I'm still searching for a place like that. Did you ever determine what the small sterling item was?

Fantastic finds! Someone probably went to the Columbian Expo and wore that half dollar as a souvenir. What great history. Hope you guys find some more stuff at this great site. HH
