Digging a 45-D walker on video

[daytondigger]

Manny invited Doug, Mark and myself to detect at some properties his aunt lined up for us. The first site was his aunt's 1920's home in town. I dug a nice 1945-D walker and Doug pulled a nice token from the ground. Later in the day at an old burnt down farmhouse, Doug found what appeared to be two large cents holed and still tied together. One of the big coppers was actually a Canadian bank token, St George haf penny from 1857. He also managed a merc and wheats and injuns, so he pulled the rug out from under my walker. I wasn't aroud to film his recoveries at the farmhouse, I was on the non producing side of the home.

"Wow" I felt the excitement on that find. You made me a bit nervous when you started rubbing that beauty.

Thanks everyone, looked kinda scary in the video just how close I was to the coin with the digger, but I was in control the "hole" time. I thought it was a quarter when I first saw it and grabbed the camera. I didn't find any other oldies at this place, but I'm plenty happy with what I got. I just wish I'd taped Doug's large coppers coming out of the ground.
