Giggled like a school girl the whole way home.

Decided to stop yesterday after work at one of the many " there's nothing there spots" located around my neighborhood. Got out, picked a program on the dfx and started meandering. First target a wheat at 2 inches, ok good. Second target another wheat, oh wait no it's not that's an Indian. 1899. Ok looks promising. Third target a pull tab. Fourth target another Indian, 1864, now I start getting the you know what feeling. Fifth target solid 89,90 in every direction. Gotta be a soda can, but it's pinpointing real tight at 3 inches. Dug my plug, flipped it over, and there she is staring at me. 1940 walking liberty half dollar. My first walker. I couldn't control myself. Threw it my other pocket, rushed home. People in cars next me thought I was nuts! Smiling and giggling the whole way home. That's for looking. GL, HH. Mike.

The reason I got into the hobby was to find Walkers, by far my fav coin made. Congrats!

That ones a keeper for sure! Love finding them, must be five years or longer since I've found my last one.

Nice walker..

That is one awesome looking coin!!!! Congrats! It's a good thing you weren't getting out at every red light and running around the car!

The worms did an excellent job detailing that coin before you found it!

On the way home I stopped at my mothers to show them the coin. My dad blurts out " that's silver you know!" I chuckled.
My mom turns around and says man thats pretty dirty, so I ask her if she has any baking soda. She opens the fridge and hands me the box. I go in the bathroom and 2 mins later come out and show her the coin. She yells out, "ok wise guy, where's the other coin?". There so funny.

Congratulations on a great coin. Found a Franklin half earlier this year but still looking for a Walker.

Thanks all for the comments. I actually went back twice to this site and found nothing good. I don't get it I guess I found all the good stuff that first outing.
