Sweet Walking Liberty and Tootsie

[against the wind]

I took a 2 1/2 hour ride with Repo Archeologist yesterday to hunt a house in Erie County,Pennsylvania.
The house was built in 1850 but the surrounding property seems to have been used for storing construction materials and a trailer. Lots of trash. I did locate the water shut off valve for the owner. The owner then went across the street and got us permission to hunt another house that was built in the late 1800's.
This property gave up lots of goodies and was relatively trash free. Repo Archeologist picked away at 4 silvers. My only silver was a sweet 1945 Walking Liberty Half. Add 8 wheat pennies and an intact Land Rover Tootsie Toy.
We had good weather and road conditions. The day also included a stop for lunch and dinner. Boy, I needed that.

Very nice ATW. Big-O-Silver gets you a Big-O-Congrats. A pleasant surprise when one mans trash leads to another man's treasure. Glad to see it all worked out for you, including lunch and dinner. SD

Beautiful Walker, ATW...lovin' the big silver! Looks like you guys raided the local IHOP, and I hope you didn't accidentally leave that shiny Walker as a tip! Ddf.
