WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR!!!!

[treblehunter]

Finally found her, I could not of done it without my new hunting partner OldJerseyGirl, the spot was her idea and she has been spending time knocking on doors and talking with people. Today we went together to two spots (both her ideas) (good ideas) the first we might have gotten closer to getting permission, hopefully the owners will get in touch soon. The second spot we had to knock on a couple of doors, success we got the permission to hunt. Now all we needed to do was find a needle in a cornfield. In two hours time I went through at least 1000 acres of cornfield (not completely!!! lol) just a beeline zig zagging through the stubble and I finally hit a good 80 signal that rung hells bells. It turned up a very crusty penny. I was just looking at it. Might be wishful thinking (wouldn't be the first time) but I might of found my first Indianhead cent. I got it in some olive oil, I'll check later and see if I can figure out what it is. After finding an old penny I figured I might be in the right area so I slowed things down and started doing things a little tighter to that hole. I got out about fifteen feet away and got a half arse high tone, it's hard in the stubble but I managed to get a 85 tone on my AT Pro (I'm loving that machine). So I pin point it, says it's 2-4 inches down. I dig, put in my pinpointer, nothing. Dig some more, deeper, nothing. Stand up check the hole, nothing. I kicked the dirt back in the hole and turn to walk away and I start thinking, what the heck I know I had a high tone. So I angle the coil towards the corn stubs and BING. I tear out a few corn stubs, check with the coil, 85 hit 6 inches, pinpoint, little higher from where I was first time. Now I dig big, go all the way down with my Garrett,Leches lookalike shovel, check with pinpointer, now I can tell for sure it's a coin, so I go a little wider (for safety's sake) and out pops a big silver! Nice, I'm thinking dollar, the sun is bouncing off it, and I'm scared to scratch it. So I knock off a little dirt and could see it was my Walker I was just recently wishing for. I'm a happy man, I couldn't have got lucky without Becky's help and ideas.
Thanks Becky, lets go there tomorrow and try a grid search and find you one!

Thank you everyone, I'm up early going deer hunting, I hope the walker brings me luck (I'm bringing her along in my pocket) The rut is in full swing around here, going to be a busy day. I'll deer hunt in morning, come out of woods, coin hunt till 1:00, then back in the woods for more venison!
Thanks for looking and all the nice replies, maybe I'll get a nice 70 hit on my AT Pro and dig my Indianhead cent today?
HH everybody!

Nice walker, the detail is great. Congrats on your first. Too bad on the penny. That's incentive to keep digging because one could be in the next hole.

I'll find that Indian yet! Thanks again, so many coins to find, so little time!
