Wow temps got into the 50's over the weekend ground thawed out.Got my new coil from Fisher,no questions asked and only took a couple weeks for the replacement Wanted to try the railroad tracks where we used to hang out when kids! We used to put pennys down on the rails then try to find the smashed ones.Well I found a smashed coin alright but it was a 50 cent piece!!! Boy we never put one of those down,heck that would buy a hot dog and a pop!!!! Also got two wheats(1912-1941) and some clad,shell casings and what looks to be a handle for a chest of drawers? Hope some other northerners got out...hh rick in mi

Smashed or other wise, still a grand hunk of silver. HH jim tn

That is pretty neat. I always like to go back to spots I remember as a kid. Glad it paid off for you. That half is awesome.

Now that was some good thinking there! I remember those locations just a little out of town where the kids would either take shortcuts across the tracks to the baseball fields or whatnot..remember them clearly...great find on the half!

Do you have any idea what year the 50 cent piece is?

Hey Rob I think its from the 70's.The only visible number is a 1 just before the 9 I would believe.The more I look at it makes me think its not silver.I also didn't hit as high on the number scale my other silver halves did..Thanx for looking..hh rick in mi
