There Wasn't Much Left To Find On the 2nd Go Around

tabman · Jan 26, 2018

I met up with my hunting buddy this morning at the same site that we hunted yesterday to see if we could find some more goodies. He found a Mercury dime and a Rosie. I kept working at it and finally unearthed a 1901 V nickel and 4 wheat pennies, but no silver. I decided to go back over the steep bank that I detected yesterday. Those steep banks aren't easy to detect, but I seem to always find some good finds on them.

Finally, I got a VDI #92 and a high pitched audio response on my MXT Pro. Oh, I just knew that I had a Barber Half under my search coil. I flipped over the plug and saw a large silver rim, but didn't know what it was. I yelled at my hunting buddy to come over see what I found. When I removed enough dirt, we saw it was a Walking Liberty and not a Barber Half. I got cheated again. LOL It's time for one.

I know you're comments are tongue in cheek but a walking liberty half is awesome. I've yet to find a single one. My only half is a Franklin a long time ago. You should be grateful!

Walkers are always sweet.
Congrats on the big Silver

Thanks! It's a good feeling to be pretty certain that there's something really good under your search coil before you even dig. I sometimes slow down and take my time so I can make the fun last longer.

I was very happy to find the Walker, but I had high hopes for a Barber Half. I'm due one!

Yeah, I was just kidding! I was one happy camper to find the Walker.

Thanks! I guess someone either sat on or rolled down that steep bank and lost it.

Thanks! It was 2 a Aleve day right out of the gate. It's rained today and it will be too wet to go tomorrow, so I'll get a couple of days of rest before heading back out to do some more detecting.
