PBR's!

Yesterday was a great day! I took off work to use up a vacation day (if I didn't I would lose it). It was a busy day. In the morning I went out for breakfast and shopped with my wife. In the early afternoon I went half hunting. And then later in the day we made some trial Christmas gifts, decorated the tree, and watched some DVDs.

The half hunting I did went fantastic. Even though only two of the banks I searched had silver halves I broke all sorts of PBR's! (Personal Best Record) I searched 1,851 halves. In the big bunch I found twenty-nine 90% silver halves and thirty-five 40% silver halves. The finds included nineteen Walkers and seven Franklins! That breaks multiple one day records of mine, most silver, most Walkers, most Franklins, and oldest half dollar. Almost of all of this was from one bank, only two 40's were found at the other one. I still can't believe I found seventeen varieties I needed in one hunt. The variety breakdown is as follows:

Dateless Walker, 1934, 1935D, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1941(2), 1942(2), 1943(2), 1943D, 1944(2), 1945(2), 1945D, 1947, 1950, 1951D, 1952S, 1954, 1962, 1963(2), 1964(2), 1964D, 1965(4), 1966(9), 1967(6), 1968D(11), 1969D(5)



I found one solid silver roll too!

Found: 6 pennies (at Stop 'N Shop)
