The morning hunt was pretty crappy for me, literally. I barely dug seven holes when my IBS kicked in and I had to get home asap. Home was only 6 miles away and I thought that I had managed to take care of it and we headed back. I made it a little longer and then had to hurry home again. The wife had managed to scrape up a 42 wheatie and a 42 Merc that had divits all over it. We came back later, around 4 and went back at it. I worked an area full of chunks of cast iron that looked and sounded pretty good as well as a bunch of these old steel grommets. the grommets were at various degree of deterioration and hit from 90 to 95 for me but I dug them anyways. I moved up to a fairly hard area on the side of a ridge, the diggable dirt was only be about 2-4 inches. So I knew that my digging in the heavy rooted area was behind me. Finally found a wheatie and then another about 10 ft away so I felt better. Then a couple of memorials as I worked around a big oak. Then I hit a solid 91 that sounded really good but so had the grommets. I dug as deep as the harden dirt below would allow me and flipped it over. Saw a wheatie under clod that had fallen back into the hole and as I lifted it up, I couldn't believe it as there were visible the edges of four or five coins. As I wiped the dirt back, I could now see three wheaties, a Merc and a big Silver. My wife claims that she heard me say "HOLY CRAP!" and she hurried over to see what I had found. I had to see what the big silver was and now could tell that it was a Walker, my second Walker in less than a month on this permission. It was a 1918s Walker, a 37 Merc, a 1920 wheatie, 26, 28D, 37D and a 40D. My wife also found another pocket knife, looks like an Old Timer. This is my first coin spill with multiple silvers and it was pretty awesome! Really made up for the attempted morning hunts. The 18 on the Walker was almost worn off, just barely there. Pretty stoked and the wife is really liking seeing silver in her holes too, she was pretty excited this morning too. Thanks for looking. Oh yeah, finds like these make asking permission a lot easier.
