Went out today with a friend. We hit a farm field that had been used for a parking lot for the 4th of July carnival and firework display this weekend in our town, basically we were looking for clad or jewelry anything that might have recently been dropped. Imagine my surprise when this popped out of my hole.

Awesome find. I can imagine that haha. Was it deep. Think it coulda been someone's good luck coin? Maybe recent drop? It's in real nice shape

Ooh! That's a nice walker. I think any date with the 1920's looks the coolest on those coins. Maybe because that's the decade I don't have a walker. Anyway, congrats on the big honkin' silver! It must have been an amazing surprise if you were clad hunting...

That is one of the finest walkers I have seen posted for quite some time .And a rather low mintage and early one too. It did not see much circulation time.

I hear they are buying coffee and paying tolls with them in Maine?

Great job. Always like to see those pre-1930 walkers in decent condition.

It was about 3 1/2 inches deep, and I too thought that it could be a more recent drop, someone's good luck charm, but I think it would show more wear if that were the case.
