Found my 10th Walker!

[oldmxrat]

Hunted an old gravel parking lot where I've done pretty good in the past.
Pulled about 50 old beavertail pull tabs, a 1945 wheat, a 1948-s dime and a 1944 half dollar.

Good job... BTW... they are called "walking" not Walker.

Must not be a coin collector, huh ARC? First time I heard the term walker had to be 35 to 40 years ago.

OK. I looked it up and you can too by typing in "what is a walking liberty half dollar commonly called" in any search engine;

Walkers

Walking Liberty half dollars, affectionately known in the coin industry as “Walkers,” were minted for 31 years, from 1916 to 1947. These coins are composed of 90% silver, and unlike the Kennedy half dollar, it’s virtually unheard of to find one in circulation today.

I thought about digging in gravel. This old homesite I can do partially is in a church gravel lot. I just didn't know how much gravel and if I can even get to soft dirt without exhausting myself

Hose down the ground and let it soak in some? It might help, I've thought about doing exactly that on our old gravel driveway. Maybe break up the ground with a pry bar first

Congrats on that great coin. Walkers in my opinion, are one of the best coins to dig.
