20 minutes to remember - Big silver

[Scrappy]

I went to a spot I forgot I had permission to hunt. The reason being, I was in the throws of heavenly colonial spots when I got a call from a late-1800's site I had asked permission to hunt a while ago. I said thanks and later that day found a cob which made me forget all about it. Fast forward to now when I haven't hunted in almost 2 weeks and have very little time and bingo! Its funny what we remember when we need to...

So here it is...one of my better 20 minute hunts ever.



(anyone know the age? WW2?)




The walker is a type 2 D-mintmark

I needed a hunt, and I'm happy it was time well spent! A shot in the arm when I really needed it as life has been way to busy.

Happy hunting!

Love the old Walker, and a barber quarter to boot!

Sheesh!, 20 minutes?, takes me that long to load up the gear and get it out of the car!, killer finds!

Thinking WW1 on the button...just a guess

It won't be forgotten! It's forcing me to go back sometime this week for sure.

Nice finds Scrappy. The WWI & WWII buttons looked a lot alike, but there were some slight differences. Yours looks like it could be G102 in Albert's Button Book. According to your pictures it looks like a 2 piece with border. The Great Seal Button was originated in 1902. Try to look for a back mark, & that will also help.

What's the mint mark on that 1917...may be a half decent coin...regardless being an awesome finds like the rest of them...

Hey thanks man! Didn't think I was digging silver on any of them. Most were only 2" deep!

Chris lately rubbing two seconds together has been challenging for me. It must look like a Chinese fire drill watching me park, get out of my car, gear up, and start hunting in 30 seconds!

Thanks tzhtr! That's great info and very helpful. I'll work on the back carefully since it looks like there's a lot of gilting on it still.
