Congrats on your first half dollar. Always nice finding a large piece of silver in the ground. The "AW" is the designers initial. Weinman designed this and the Mercury Dime, two of our most beautiful coins. Both have his initials. I should add, you should get a copy of the "Redbook", The Guide Book of United States Coins. There's lots of good info in it.

That's a nice looking walker, congrats on the find! My goal in 2015 is to finally dig a walker.

I'm with J. on this one. Total grats! You should be very proud. A lot of us have been detecting for years and never had a half or a dollar in the hole.

Very nice condition. Red letter day for you! Awesome feeling when you see something that large and that silver come out of the ground. I will never forget my first, of course it was not that long ago, but my hands were shaking and I could barely speak, I just could not believe how big that chunk of silver was. Congrats. GL&HH!

PS: I just remember that you are on the banner right now. You are on fire... buy a lottery ticket man!
