Happy Father's Day to Me!
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:
Thanks for lookin' & HH! :grin:

Re: Happy Father's Day to Me!
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:)
Re: Happy Father's Day to Me!
It's great to find one...but 2 in one hole!!!! |:confused:)
Re: Happy Father's Day to Me!
Some guys have all the luck! I would've found the nails! :omg: :congrats: on some great finds!
GL(as if you need it)/HH

Re: Happy Father's Day to Me!
WOW!!! Tim, that is awesome!! It certainly pays to dig those iffy signals, what a find, congrats to you!
Re: Happy Father's Day to Me!
Awesome recoveries Tim! 2 old halves in the same hole :bananadance: WOW!!!!
Re: Happy Father's Day to Me!
