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

I don't know, Ron. Seemed pretty clear to me you were hunting in the non-sacred ground and being respectful of the populated portion. And I enjoyed your posted pics w/the history. But the whole cemetary hunt topic has been, is and always will be one big point of contention.

Anyway, the half looks great. I always liked the artistry of that series. Congrats on a swell looking first.

Ron,

Congratulations on your first Walking Liberty. And a beauty at that - very nice detail on that coin. You must be thrilled.

The first Walker I ever found was with my brother when we were kids detecting around the local high school. We found a walker about 1/2 inch under the grass, and always wondered if it was more of a modern drop - somebody's good luck piece or something.

Then 30 years passed before I found my next walker - this past January. Then my third came just a couple of weeks ago - two in the past six months. Funny how things work out like that.

Anyways, cherish the memory of the moment you pulled that big silver from the ground. It doesn't get much better than that!!!!!

Jim

Great find, CJH. Did it cross your mind that possibly you have found something that was lost by one of your relatives, while
they were paying respects to your deceased family? Wouldn't that be something.....reclaiming something that one of your
family lost. (I was going to try to put one of the faces here, after my last sentance, but none seemed appropriate, considering
what I was saying.)
Good job, and here's hoping with you for you to find some more.
