I went back to my schoolhouse permission yesterday since it was a little less hot than it has been. Was supposed to rain, but didn't. I expanded my search area considerably around the school, especially focusing on where a grove of trees appeared behind the school in old aerial photos.
I came up with five wheats in total, a 1921 buffalo nickel, and ... a 1945 Walking Liberty half dollar! You can see the live retrieval here.
I've dug about 60 silver coins in not quite four years and have never found a silver half before (I have dug two clad halves). It's a common date and it has some staining on the obverse, but it's big silver and now I can't wait to dig more.
