Never found a Walker before...Now I have and she's big and beautiful!
Near me in a public park is an area where there once stood a private site with an old farm house and it is the most difficult iron infested area I have ever hunted.
An area that others have visited and I know for sure some extremely good veteran hunters too, and this place caused most if not all of them to run away frustrated and screaming for mercy.
Me, I am a little nuts and I have been here several times with 3 other detectors and different coils trying anything and everything I could think of to tame this beast and find some older coins that we all suspect might be hiding but are so masked that it is almost impossible to recognize them.
Now it is time to give the F70 a try at this Disneyland of iron.
I think I discovered a new hunting technique, an off the wall out of the box method that I was crazy to think of and insane enough to try...and it actually seemed to work.
4 short hunts later I am getting a little more experienced at doing this each time and the finds are getting better on each visit.
I posted about this technique in this thread about this first visit, since then I have gone back for 3 more short hunts and the results are becoming stunning.

Here are the finds from those other hunts since that first visit.
Hunt 2
And I did dig some iron that day and some other trash.
Hunt 3 short and sweet.
Avoided most iron, very little time and now that I knew there was silver I was concentrating on that.
No silver, but the prize of the day on a sweet sounding tone was another nice knife for the collection.
I don't think that nice high tone came from the knife.
I believe this is the thing right next to the knife that caused it and that knife was totally masked.
Hey, I have always said never discount luck in this hobby.
Hunt 4 After this now I know this technique works and I am thrilled beyond belief and raring to get back to look for more.
Right now sitting here looking at this big beautiful round coin in my hand I am still stunned.
Never dug a Walker of any kind before...to find this as my first and with a date....stunned might not be the exact word.
More to come from this challenging and interesting site...I hope!
