I went out after work last night, figured that I would try the school yard that gave up the '44 quarter last week. It's close to the house and easy to hunt, so why not go for a little swing, and who knows something might turn up... a silver quarter turned up last week...
I got a little clad and a little junk, then I got a '38 wheatie, that's the first wheat cent that I have found at the site... good..good..
I drifted over to the area where I found the quarter... and BAM... loud shallow high signal... ALMOST like an aluminum can... almost..
About 4" down I hit something.. oops... I reached in the hole and pulled out what looked like a big coin... I wiped off the back and could hardly believe what I thought that I was seeing... I went up to the truck and rinsed the face off... and... WOW... a tarnished, but beautiful 1934 WALKER!
I was just speechless.... still am. Yesterday was just my lucky day.
That's the biggest and best coin that I have ever dug up! It is "lucky" #13YTD silver.
Thanks for looking.
