Mama said Its fathers day, go out detecting. ::huh:: Sweet! |:confused:)
I was able to find a couple wheats and a bunch of clad. But during the hunt I got a jumpy dime type signal. I dug down to find a big gray disk :shocked04:
It turned out to be a 1935 Walker! :happydance01:

In the same hole with it was a 1907o Barber half! :happydance01: .... with them was 4 giant nails! :eyebrow:

Captain Coinspill strikes again! :pirate: lol

That's awesome, Tim! It's amazing how the E-Trac can still find the silver coins amongst the nails. That 1935 Walker doesn't have much wear on it, so I bet both coins were dropped about then. That 1907-O Barber Half has seen lots of circulation, if only it could talk!

Huge congrats on an incredible Father's Day find! |:confused:)

Congrats on a great hunt! The walker looks like it has a complete head and date too! I'd soak it in distilled water for as long as it takes to loosen the dirt and VERY CAREFULLY lightly toothbrush it clean. HH....
