This is my first Walking Liberty Half Dollar. I found it looking for gold, you can tell by the trash I dug. The sound it gave was similar to a large gold ring.

I uncovered it at 7”, it was under 1 ½ pull tabs.

The first thing to come out of the hole at 4” was a beavertail without the finger ring part. Then at 5” a complete pull tap came out. I check the hole again and it was still screaming. After digging about 2 more inches the old lady showed herself, I was jazzed to say the least.

I found a few other cool things yesterday but I'm to tired to post them right now. got to be up bright and early, 5:00AM. The blue dot on the picture is where I found the WLH and the blue box shows the pull tabs that came from the same hole. Hopefully the scuff marks will come off when I clean it up, that ground is very hard to dig in at this time of year.
