I haven’t found much lately and was getting discouraged so I almost didn’t go out tonight. But time came and I headed back to the park..... found +60 cents in clad (was feeling lucky for hitting two quarters).... the sun was gone and I was headed back to the car when I got a funky signal jumping around 24-32 on the Nox, dug down 5 inches and plucked out a rusty nail. The pinpointed told me something else was there, and out popped a Walker! I think the nail was on top of it.

Not the prettiest one but it’s beautiful to me :icon_thumleft:

Nice score, that nail must have protected it from prior hunters, congratulations on sniffing out that fine chunk of silver!

It’s a beautiful coin. This and the Mercury dime are 2 of my favorite designs.

Congrats on the silver! Always fun to find. Found two of those this year and both came in screaming 39 on my Nox.

Nice Squirrel! Last Walker I found was in a hole with a staple and gave off a crappy signal. You just never know!
