    Timmy meets Ms. Walker

    It's been pretty slow for me for the past few weeks . But today I was fortunate!! I found my first Walking Liberty half dollar !!! Shortly after that I also found a 62 Rosie and a few wheats. Here's some of the other things and of course ALLLLL the garbage (well half of it anyway ). I found all this in a yard I mowed while I was growing up. Just up the block from my house. I was thinking.... about all the times I walked right over the top of this thing lol
    Thats it in a nut shell...Thanks for lookin' & HH

    Nice Half! thumbsup01 I think we are having a half dollar epidemic on this forum lol After finding the half, you were probably saying awhhh, just a silver Roosy? lol Nice finds and I get that feeling of walking over treasure alot.
    Finding relics is in my blood

    8) Totally far out, ricious and grovie man!!! (thats my hippie talk) rofl
    It was really nice to finally get a chance meet and hunt with a fellow forum member!!!
    Also got to meet Magic and his girl, Yazoo,FireFighter,Schreckey,SheepLady and a few others I can't think of right now...sorry guys.
    I never did get a chance to let you use the Garrett PP. Sorry about that.
    My atttention span is pretty short when I got my head phones on. It takes one beep and I'm....somewhere else lol
    I'll put together a little thread tomarrow and show my meager finds. Yeah I don't know what it's made of...probably pewter.
