Today I finally found my second silver half, and it took almost three years since my first (a 1934) about a hundred feet from where I found this one today. When I found the first half, an old widow (very nice lady) who lived in the last remaining house on the block at the time had been watching me detect came outside and curiously asked what I was doing. I told her and showed the 1934 Half Dollar along with some wheaties, she examined the silver and remarked "I haven't seen one of these in a long time". We talked and she reminisced about her old neighborhood, all the kids who grew up there, etc.
Well fast forward to today, She's gone, house is gone, block is vacant and quiet, and I make one pass across what was her front yard, out pops the 41' Walker and I thought back to the 34' Walker she saw me dig in the vacant lot next to hers back in the summer of 2012. Sometimes neat little stories happen, and that was mine. true story. (I did clean it with a little toothpaste, it was nasty and not valuable).
