My First Walking Liberty Half and a Cool Flower Button.

Got to go for a couple hours late today with Brother John, My nephew Caleb and his friend. We detected an old farm site in The Baird's Mill area here in TN, hoping to find some CW relics.

Well, I didn't find alot in the short time we had, but I did manage to pluck a couple keepers. A nice 1935 Walking Liberty Half dollar. This is my first silver half. It gave a nice strong 50 cent reading at about 6 inches. Most times these turn out to be something other than a half dollar, so I was Very Pleased! Found a nice Flower button with a great green patina to it. I know these were worn by some soldiers during the CW and so who knows maybe we'll find some solid CW signs next trip.
