  We present the discovery and spectroscopic identification of two very high
proper motion ancient white dwarf stars, found in a systematic proper motion
survey. Their kinematics and apparent magnitude clearly indicate that they are
halo members, while their optical spectra are almost identical to the recently
identified cool Halo white dwarf WD0346+246. Canonical stellar halo models
predict a white dwarf volume density of two orders of magnitude less than the
approx 7*10^{-4} Solar masses per pc^{-3} inferred from this survey. With the
caveat that the sample size is very small, it appears that a significant
fraction, about 10%, of the local dark matter halo is in the form of very old,
cool, white dwarfs.
