A first for me and a real tragedy!

Joe and I hit the strawberry fields this afternoon, found a few wheat pennies and clad before getting a nice solid target on the Deus. Was happy to see silver in the dirt, but...



So it begs the question: what is your most disappointing find? Would love to hear your stories and see your photos!

Cheffer,

Very nice find, where there is one there may be others. Perhaps there was a group of friends practicing their shooting skills. Good luck with your hunts. Walt

Maybe that's the coin in the pocket that saved someone's life by slowing down a bullet in WW2...hey, you never know what the story might be.

That is true, maybe there is something to that. Thanks for your replies guys, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful for getting a Walker with a backstory, those of you that know me know I'm happy with every wheat! Just seemed a shame to abuse such a beautiful coin in that way-GL and HH

Joe told me about that coin... Bummer. Remember my very first half cent?

What a great, super cool find! I wouldn't be disappointed with that at all! Lots of stories you come up with about what happened with a coin like that! And... Silver, too! Thanks for sharing with us!

A walker is a walker! Too bad it's in the condition it is. My most disappointing find I would have to say was this gold plated thing that was about the size of a half eagle, it looked SOOO good down in the hole. I did end up finding a barber that day though...

Good shot!

My most disappointing it was big it was round and I Thought I dug my first large cent and it ended up being a very modern token.

Very cool coin I would love one with history like that.

Yup...I've come across any number of coins used for target practice.....makes them damn unique in my book!

As a water hunter there are too many heart breaks to mention, like a big fat heavy gold necklace marked “14k Italy” necklace that turned out to be 100% fake.

I don’t see that as a tragedy I see that is one of a kind with a lot of character. But now that you bring it up I found my second Trime and it was hit but not by me
At least yours was shot mine was just cut with no date. But I can see where you’re coming from.
