The temperature spiked up so I headed into town to some vacant lots the city cleared. It's very heavy iron and can slaw infested ground and hard to hunt. I set the detector to discriminate everything but silver and hope for the best. I got a 1943 Walker half dollar. It's my 4th Walker in my detecting career. One of my favorite coins. I also got a wicked looking ornate drawer pull. Thinking it could be a fairly modern reproduction but unsure. Looks old but then again not.:icon_scratch: Hope everyone has a treasure filled year! 100_18551_zpsuwkeptaw.JPG100_18511_zpswfdxhoys.JPG100_18501_zpsihm6ipqv.JPG100_18641_zpssjj16tlu (2).JPG100_18611_zps0u4lc8hk.JPG100_18661_zpsc6nsftyf.JPG100_18671_zpsoi8o2tsu.JPG100_18681_zpseyjpjhji.JPG100_18691_zpsrttttufr.JPG

Sweet Walker!! I've got a Franklin and a Barber but, can't find a Walker. Congrats!!
 

Nice Finds ! I never tire of seeing the Walker - not sure why you think the drawer pull is a more modern piece. If I had to guess I would think later 19th century (80's ,90's)

Thanks, I didn't see a lot of wear in the metal but since I cleaned it up some, I'm seeing more signs of age.
 

Love them Walkers when coins were art and money.
 

Walker half is still on my bucket list, congrats
 

Congrats on the walker half! I've only managed to find one so far. I still hear that high tone in my dreams!
