Found my third Walker this year. Found this at a local park at about five to six inches deep, using the EXPII. It was giving an erratic signal, jumping all around, but sounded decent enough. Turned out, there was a couple of rusty bottle caps masking the signal. Once those were removed, the signal about blew my eardrums out. Also got eight wheaties and this little Sterling silver ring with a red stone in it.

Now that's a nice coin. Great shape for a 1919, usually those are worn slick.
Congrats!
 
Doug,
Fantastic coin. Congrats to you. I better start digging those erratic signals too! :o
-MM-
 
Congrats....very nice Walker and nice ring as well...WTG!!!
 
I love that big silver.I'd wish I could find just 1!
 
That's my favorite coin by far. It's comes down to skill when we are able to notice those subtle differences that make us investigate a signal.


Good Work, thanks for sharing..

Nice - 1919 is a semi-key and I would call that one a solid VG. $35 or so retail.
 
I still need to find my first IDoug...But this just goes to show with the erratic signal's,I don't trust anyone these day's...why should I trust erratic signal's....Very nice job and beautiful coin...Congrat's and HH!!
 
NICE! That's an early one..it's in great shape..congrats!
