Went with a friend over the weekend and gridded off an area we have hit many times before. We were determined to get every nook and cranny. Boy, did it pay off. My first signal within 30 minutes of arriving was a back and forth ghost signal in the high 80's to low 90's on the AT pro. could not seem to pinpoint it and then pop! out came a 1918-S Walker! My first one. We were there for about 7 hours in the 90 degree heat but it paid off. My buddy found 2 more walkers one Franklin, 2 Rosie's, 2 Silver washington's, and between the two of us found 6 or so wheat pennies. I surely can say it was a really good day. Here are some of the finds

Very nice...nothing over a silver quarter for me yet, but I'm hunting! Congrats!!!
 
Nice finds for up there! I moved to Vegas last year and days like that are hard to come by. You must not be hunting Reno or Carson for those school finds!
 
keep it up. Ive been doing this for 8 years and that was my first silver half.

oh no they weren't found at schools and yes I do have to drive to find the spots. But like a good fishing spot I never tell. :laughing7:
 
Well done sir, well done! Welcome to the AT Pro. I have only had my AT Pro (which is my first MD) about a month, 3 silvers coins and 2 gold rings in the last week. Dig on!

Not the oldest coin I've ever found but certainly was the oldest silver I've ever pulled.
 
Very nice - big silver find ! I have been fortunate to snag a couple of those too - one I scratched the hell out of with a screwdriver "probe"
the second got a bite taken out of it by a lawn mower , but I'm not complaining- it's a lot of silver !
 
I'm still saving for mt AT Pro. Finds like this keep me rolling pennies and digging pull tabs!!
