AT Pro Finds Walking Liberty

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Finally made it out since the Ice Storms hit our Area.

Meet up with a good buddy to hit some parks and take advantage of the weather.

After a couple hours I managed to score a 1962 Silver Dime...Nothing too great , but better than nothing.

A good hour after that , i noticed a guy that seemed a little shady digging thru the dumpster a little ways from me.

Then I start hearing him yelling something, So I pretty much hauled ass to my buddy that was just about 500 feet away.

I wasnt really even swinging, just moving to get away from this guy, I ended up getting a solid 90-91.

Normally I wouldnt have dug at this park. because the whole time i was there, i was getting Quarter/Half dollar hits from the large mouth alum. screw tops.

But this one seemed a little deeper than the tops were..I dug down about 2 inches, saw what appeared to be a smashed screw top lid, than once i felt the weight. I flipped it on its side and saw that beautiful reeded edge.

1942 Walker!!

I was in complete shock, i wasnt expecting to find this AT ALL.

I ran over to show my buddy and he was shocked too. mainly becaue the lack of coin at this place.

The first 3 coins I dug, 2 of them were silver, So needless to say. I had a great day.

thanks for reading.

And Merry Christmas!

lol ok I would of drawn the line there and walked away too. You know how to win a fight? Just take all your clothes off because no one wants to fight a naked guy lol

Then what you do is move away from your buddy and look at the guy, wait for him to start yelling and haul butt over to your friend again. Dig the good signal and rinse and repeat. LOL, if only.
