Congrats to you sir!

I will never forget my first Walker, made my knees shake so bad, I had to go to the truck for a sit down!

I hope that many more grace your coil.

Nice! My first silver coin was also a half, a Franklin 10 years ago. Took me until last week to find another. Keep them coming!

That's an awesome find. I would be excited finding that myself. I actually found my first silver in Eastern North Carolina myself. I was stationed at Cherry Point in Havelock, NC. What part of ENC are you in?
