I was looking for Civil War spots on the maps when I stumbled on a spot that was perfect for some coin shooting. I went to try it out Wednesday evening and it did not disappoint with Mercs and Washingtons. I found 8 silver coins in about 4 hours that night. I was looking forward to getting back there and was able to hunt it for a couple more hours Friday. My very first signal sounded like a silver quarter on the Etrac but out popped a coin that looked more like a clad quarter. I was surprised when I picked it up to see it was a thick green coin and I wet it enough to see the little details left of a worn large cent! I haven't dug a Largie in a long time. I went back to digging and got three more silver dimes and a nice sterling ring. The whole time I was thinking there is a good chance of finding a silver half here. Well as luck would have it right at dark, I got a screaming 3-46 signal and I knew for sure it would be big silver. Cut the plug and pulled out a nice Walker! I did get a couple of nice dropped CW bullets but it was a lot of fun digging all this silver! Had rain here all day so it was good to clean everything up and do a little more research. HH-David

Thats insane. Wow way to go! That walker is fantastic. Well all of it is :icon_thumleft:
What the heck kind of spot did you stumble upon?
 

Nice Hunt!!!! Congrats!!! Sweet Finds!!!!
 

Life is good when your research takes you to virgin ground. Your cheeks got to be aching from all that smiling after a hunt like that. Congrats to you Mister.
 

That's just crazy! You've left me thoroughly flabbergasted!
 

Walkers are in the top 20 of my favorites SLQ being number one. I have yet to dig one but when I do I think I will keel over. What an excellent hunt. Does that Miniball have a hole drilled in it? Looks like someone wore it around their neck.
 

That's the kind of hunts that we all dream of, lots of silver, old coppers, ring and the old lead....the only thing missing was the gold but who cares? You go to sleep tired and yet very happy! congrats big time!
 

great research = great hunt Congrats on both!--JB
 

A day to remember for sure! Awesome hunt!:notworthy:

Thanks! It's a place that had houses on it built in 1950 and were torn down a few years ago. Its pretty much open now and I just went down as many of the front yards as I could.
