Great Week So Far...Found My 3rd Walker of the Year!!!

[Captn SE]

Hello everyone,

This week has started out great for me. Yesterday, I stayed local and managed to find a merc, a rosie, 20+ wheaties, and a '35 Walker Half, my third of the year so far. Seeing that large silver coin at the bottom of your 7" hole is just priceless. Today, I went to Irvine Park with one of my md'ing buddies and found 4 rosies in a wooded area. They were all found in about a 2ft diameter next to a fallen oak tree. The big silver ring was found on a short hunt on Sunday along with a rosie and 25 wheaties. It was down about 5"; I thought for sure it was a silver quarter; I think it's twice as heavy as one. So not a bad start to the week.

All my finds in the pic were made with my Explorer SE and Sunray's Stealth X-8" coil.

Total oldies:
1 '35 Walker Half
6 Rosies
1 Merc
56 wheaties

Happy 4th of July to all !!!!!!

Great work there Capt SE . I have spent many a day in my youth at Irvine Park ( So Cal right ? ) and even more at O, Neil Park . My Scout troop ( 66 Anaheim ) went on camp outs there about every other month . I lost my fathers slide tie from the 1950 Jamboree at Valley Forge PA , if you come across it give me a holler !. Hoss

Thanks, Hoss.
Yes, you got the right park in Irvine, S. CA. If I happen to find your father's slide tie, I let you know. I haven't been to O Neil Park. How far does that park date back? I might give it a try for some oldies.

Capt, n I can,t give you a for sure date , but I am thinking the mid 1950s maybe ,. I was going there in the early 60s ( 1960-1965) and the place looked well used then , you also might want try Trabuco Canyon there was a lot of Hippie activity there back in the day . Hoss
