I had an awesome day yesterday at a small military base in NY that was around during the civil war. I have detected here before and found a few indian head cents, a CW button from a union soldier and a bunch of minnie balls and musket balls. There is a baseball field that does double duty as a Par 3 golf course. I found the SLQ pictured last week which made me decide to hit this area hard yesterday. I pulled up a 1952 silver quarter first. The next hole yielded three mercury dimes and two wheat cents. The barber came next and i needed to change my drawers when upon digging a quarter signal i pulled out a huge silver disc. It's my first walker liberty half dollar and i couldnt help but stare at it for minutes like an entranced child. What an awesome day. 5 silver, 6 wheaties, and a few bucks in clad. I've got to hit this spot again as its huge and i seriously doubt i've hunted it out.

Awesome digs!
Anytime you find that array of coinage in one area you are at a seemingly unhunted hotspot! Move in, set up camp and keep us posted.

Congrats on that great silver! That is a great day of hunting for sure. I know that Walker really topped it all off. Good job.
