Beer can, beer can, car part, beer can.... Walker Half !!!!

[bologna321]

Kinda chilly out this morning, took the equinox to a place I spied on an old 1950's aerial photo this week. Looked like an old parking area near some trails leading to a pond. I've been trying to find a silver quarter, I thought why not this place.

I didn't want to dig much trash, short on time, so i had it in Park 1, stock coil, sensitivity 20.

Wandered for a short time, dug a few cans, and a car part, then got another strong signal. I was thinking another beer can top or something. It was pretty solid at around 37 or 38. Dug the plug it was a bit deeper, moved some dirt with my hand and there it was, the edge of a big coin! Pulled it out and boom walker half! 1943.

My first silver half, and my 2nd equinox silver. Happy hunting to all!

Know how you feel. You dig so much junk it’s hard to think it might be something nice. I found my second silver it was a walker and from the time I dug it and saw it pop out of the hole I saw thought it had to be trash till I picked it up. Awesome find.

Congrats on your first silver Half Dollar. Those Walkers are always exciting to find.
