Skunked this weekend 'cept for the very last hole.

This is diggin weather for sure...had a bunch of places lined up and nothing seemed to go right this weekend.

So we head for the marble site, I did pick a merc there last time, maybe it still had a treasure or two left. Did find a few more marbles, a 1944 Austrialian big penny and 10 wheats. Starting to get dark by now and I hit the 99 millionth "dollar" signal...pick up the coil and sweep it again...only this time the signal doesn't repeat like all the other big junk does when you swing two feet off the ground. So I pop a big plug and FINALLY there she is...1918-D Walker. I haven't dug a walker in so long I almost forgot what they look like. Pretty battered and scratched by the heavy equipment, like I'm complaining...

At this point there's really nothing left to do but shut off the detector and go home, almost to dark to see and there ain't no chance of repeating.

This one wasn't entirely luck. Several months ago I had found half of a bezel...the exact size of a half dollar. The bezel had clearly been hit by the bulldozer when all the dirt got moved around...I figured the dozer had seperated the coin from it's holder and I've been looking for the half that went in the bezel ever since. With so many large hunks of scrap metal it's not hard to see how we missed it all the trips out there. Not 100% sure this is the actual coin from the bezel, but given the rarity of digging walkers in these parts, I'd say it's a pretty good bet.

Big Silver is the Best!

Just like in golf. . . you do well on the last hole and you'll be back.

Very cool Walker!

HH!
