I stopped by my recent permission yesterday where I’ve had some good luck at with old coins and relics. I’ve hunted the main yard from just about every direction so I decided to start hitting areas around the back. I hit the center circle of the turnaround part of the driveway. I found a few wheats some clad and half of an old cap pistol. I crossed the driveway and headed towards the backyard when I got a great sounding signal and thought it might be a silver quarter. But after cutting my plug and hitting a big brick, my signal was still in the clod so I was expecting a clad quarter. I busted through the grass roots and out rolls a big ole silver half. The dirt was caked on so I went to the truck to get my water and cleaned it up enough to see a beautiful 1944 Walker. I can’t believe I’ve dug 4 silver half dollars out of this one yard. I looked around for about an hour more and didn’t find much after the half. This had been an epic site to hunt.

Wow that yard has lots of great relics! I wonder if the neighbors yards might hold as much. Ya never know. Nice hunt. Like the silver and the lone enfield.

Nice hunt and nice Walker. What is the token beside the Walker? Looks interesting.

Thanks! Yeah I'm working on getting other permissions around there. I got the go ahead across the street where the old toll house was but the grass is over 2 feet tall. I hoping it gets cut soon.

Yeah It's funny how some yards can not have any old coins and some will be loaded. I imagine kids have a lot to do with it.

It's some type of amusement token. That's the second one I've found there but they are a little different from each other. Info I found on the net said from the 30's-40's

Thanks. I am a token nut and like them almost as much as coins.

That yard has been very good to you. I think you should offer to start mowing it :laughing7:

Yeah I am the same way. I would rather find a cool old token over a common silver coin.

It has been a good one for sure. They keep it mowed down and I try to hunt right after. I need to mow across the street. I have permission there and the toll house for that road sat there way back in the day. The grass is over knee high.
