Big Silver in Uniontown!

[DKinPA]

Hunted the town formerly known as Uniontown with Jeff of PA and Bruce this morning. Decided I was gonna go for quality instead of quantity this morning....in other words I went to one of the trashiest areas and crawled along real slow. Covered a small area and dug a lot of pull tabs that sure could have been deep old nickels....but.....was able to pull one nice keeper from the trash!

In addition to about .50 cents in clad I found this beauty, a 1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. This is my second Walker this month!!

congratulations on the walker. I have been detecting since 1984 and have never found one, however, my son started detecting in May and has found 3 already. Two were in the last week. Just have to put your coil over one, I guess.

[jeff of pa]

again Congrats Dave !
there is sure allot of those coming out the ground lately

 

[DKinPA]

Thanks all!

Coilfisher I don't have the NEL coil, I actually found my two walkers this month with the Sunray X-8 coil but I'm not sure I like the coil. The VDI numbers seem to be extremely skewed with this coil, this Walker hit a solid 3-25 in all directions both in and out of the ground, all other halves I have found have hit in the 8-48, 9-48 range. I changed back over to my 6x8 SEF coil later in the day and this Walker hit 9-47, 9-48......I'm thinking the Sunray coil might be having an issue.

Awesome job Dave. She is a beauty.

 

[djm of PA]

Awesome find Dave!!!!!! I have the same issue with my sharpshooter coil, numbers are all over the place, while it's found me nice items, i'm beginning to dislike it's inconsistency.
something with the etracs I wonder?

 

[hamiddetecting]

Nice!!

 

[ticm]

Great coin. How could anyone not like that.

 

[DKinPA]

Hey Den.....yeah, inconsistency is a good word for what I'm experiencing with this coil. I hunted a site in Lancaster county last weekend and for about an hour I just kept thinking it was too quiet so I changed over to the 6x8 SEF and all of a sudden the ground was alive. Not sure if it's an Etrac issue though......the coil was made for the EX and E series......I might give it another run at site I haven't used it at yet but I don't know if it's a keeper.
