My first Walking Liberty!!!!

[usinadi]

I was metal detecting an old house place in a field next to an old Mission in Northeast Oklahoma yesterday when I got a ID 82 high signal on my Garrett AT Gold. I dug down to reveal a 1956D wheat penny and when I got up and I ran my detector near the spot again and heard an high pitch but didn't really pay attention to the number but thought it was in the 80's so I thought that it was another wheat penny. I plunged my digging tool and flipped the soil and out popped this beauty!!! I saw the beautiful Eagle on back and at once knew it had to be one of the Liberties!!! I turned the coin around and saw that it was a 1941 D Walking Liberty Half Dollar! This is my first Walking Liberty and I just kept looking at how beautiful a coin it was! I have been over that area many, many times at different angles and never got more than Wheat pennies and old tax tokens...lol which I love everything I find! This just continued to show me that no place is searched out! I can't wait to go back out this evening to search the place again!

Congratulations! I've recovered numerous 1800's coins, but have yet to find a single walking, seated, or standing liberty. Well done!

Congrats on finding the Walker. Kind of amazing when a BIG shiny coin suddenly appears in a hole... especially, your first one. When I found my first one, I was just amazed, I stood up and left the machine on the ground, and just walked over the truck to get something to drink, I was just speechless!

I hope that there are many more in your future!

Ive found close to 100 silver coins in 16 months of detecting. My second ever silver was my only Walker. Nice find.

Congrats on your first Walking Liberty. They are a very nice coin to find. I can still remember the first one ( and every one after that ) that I have found. You just dont seem to lose the memory of that coin.

That is one pretty coin.
Adolf Weinman designed both the Walking Liberty Half, and the Mercury Dime.
I love Mercury Dimes and will never get tired of digging Walkers. lol
Congrats on your 1st Walker.

Thanks everybody for the comments!!! I absolutely love the Liberty coins and have almost bought a few just so I could have in my collection because I loved the design of them but nothing beats the excitement of finding one!!! I didn't find anything but a 1958 D wheat penny and a Oklahoma tax token when I went back to the same place yesterday but I was happy to find those. The Walking Liberty will keep me excited for a while anyway!!! I love metal detecting because everything you find helps you discover the history of a place and conjures up images of what it may have been like at that time in the past. Thanks again everyone for the comments and good luck to all!!!!
