I finally got a walking half. I have found many silver dimes and quarters in my time and just recently posted my first silver coin (a quarter) that I found in about 2 years.
Me and my partner got out for about a hour tonight, I might have stayed out longer but I had to take the kids out for trick or treating. Anyway they are planning on removing some old homes and many are borded up, so we decided to hit it a bit early. Well the first yard that we hit I got my first walker (1943)and yes it does have a scratch on it from my shovel d@#$ it. No excuses except the signal was not a real good one and my pinpointer was going crazy I believe there was a large iron object deeper. When I dug it I thought wow that is a big quarter (tap tap.. stupid its big cause its a half). Next coin I got was a no date buffalo. I got a few wheaties I havn't really checked the dates so that will be tomorows task. Between the time I found the walker and the buffalo this girl possibly homeless (we hunt the good part of town )stop and wanted to chat it up and "can I give it a try". Holy cow leave us alone already. She was making me real nervous and I was having a hard time concentrating on the task at hand.
Well there are more houses to try so this week will get good I hope. I can't believe that my first two silver coins I have gotten since coming back to the greatest hobby has been a quarter and a half. I suspect that when they demo this block of homes there will be some seated and IH's to be found, I hope they don't fence it off when the best stuff is getting easier to find.
Happy Hunting.
