Hooked up with an old friend I haven't hunted with in a few years we headed down to the Sac. Ghetto, (Safety in Numbers) Found a small narrow lot, thought well we might as well give it a shot, I immediately headed to the back of the lot, first two signals were a 1916s Wheat and a 1923s wheat, I thought this is a good sign, some junk then a good Quarter sound, up pops a 1926 Standing Liberty, I shouted over to my buddy to check it out, by this time he was showing signs of frustration, next signal a 1935s Merc., by now my friend was throwing Bottle caps at me that he was digging, he was showing a lot of frustration now, then I dug a 1943 Merc. I thought he was going to hit the roof, I told him be patient there's more here, at that point I told him to get his

over here and check out this side of the Lot, Five minutes Later he was all smiles, "what ya got there" he holds up this Big Silver Disc. I go over and it is a Very nice Walker Half, :wav: I ended up with 7 Wheat's, 1916s, 1923s, 1927s, 1929s, 1935s, and two unknown dates, Two Mercs, a Standing Quarter, and he got one wheat and the Nice Half, never thought this lot would produce much, I was surprised. I also got a Lead Ball, looks like a possible 50 Cal. Round Ball, It was the deepest target at the lot.

Now for Some Pics :headbang:

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words, I'm just glad I didn't dig the Walker, that would have sent my freind over the edge and Walking the hood

Congrats on the Standing Liberty, a favorite of mine!! Not a bad little strip of land and good to see you let your friend have the big silver, but at least he stopped throwing bottle caps at you!! ;D
