Big Silver, A First For Me........She's Walking So proudly

Hello everyone,
Went out for a short hunt today and ended up near the local cemetery where 3 generations of my family are buried. I obtained permission from the local caretaker who said it was alright.

I concentrated on the area where motorized vehicles have been parking for many years. It's runs parallel along the cemetery for about 200 yards and is about 100 feet wide. Not 1 hour into the hunt, and to my surprise out comes my first walking Liberty half at 4 inches. Also found a few wheat pennies

Thanks everyone for the remarks. I hope some of you did not get confussed on my near cemetery hunt. It was not in the cemetery but across the street where there is a vacant lot 200x100'. It runs parallel to it. I hope this clears matters up if there was any doubt.

I told you that would be a good place to hunt, assuming that's the one with the dump we stopped at. Congrats!!!

Awesome find... I just got my first a few days ago. At first sight, I seriously thought it was one of those aluminum pull caps from a tennis can because I found it next to a tennis court.

Way to go! :hello2:

When I saw it on edge I knew it was a coin. I though at 3 inches it would be a Kennedy. When I rubbed so lightly on the bottom I saw the date. Then I woke everyone up :laughing7:

There is plenty more to hunt there However, I have to leave Friday to run out west again

Lot's of detail on her!

I think you must have edited your post judging from some of the initial replies like the one with the reference to Bataan.

Yes. I had posted some pics afterwards of my Great Uncle's Memorial, who was killed in WW2 and the Civil War Monument. No offense to anyone. However, I decided to delete them after reading a few of the replies.I think people got mis-led and thought I was detecting in the cemetery, which no way in ever would I do that.
