It been awhile since I found bigger silver. I was lucky to find a Franklin last year and a 1916D Walker the year before, so this makes my third silver half. They dont come easy. This was found in the woods adjacent to a city park. It was found 5 inches deep at the base of an old oak tree. I figured it to be another beer can (I turned one over on the other side of this same tree), but to my suprise this popped out. Also found a 1944 Washington, 1917 Merc, three wheats (1950s, 1934, 1929s) and a 1864 Indian. The indian is soaking in olive oil and the wheats are getting a peroxide bath. Found a couple of bullets, Illinois token, and an old Rosary. The usual clad and trash.

Excellent finds...that crucifix is beautiful ! Thanks for sharing your great day!
 

Great silver, I never heard of a "silver Oak", you may have found a new species. Bongo
 

i have YET to find a big silver most productive digs ;D
 

Nice finds Doug. :) I know what you mean about those halves. I found two walkers and one benjamin last year. I'm really wondering how I'm going to even get that many this year.

;D ;D ;D ;D sweet finds,, all nice items.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
 

Like they say, Half a loaf is better than none. Okay, terrible pun; I love to see pictures of those Walkers, and like even more to see one staring at me in the dirt.
 

That's a really fine half dollar. I'm still looking to find my first half. Must be a great feeling pulling a big piece of silver like that out of the ground. Way to Go!
 

Looks like your back in style again. Gotta love those silvers.
Nice finds.
 

WOW that crucifix is beautiful. Walker's are all ways great.
