    First Walking Liberty Half

    Hi everyone,
    I put my shooter coil on my V3I tonight and thought I'd try to hunt some of the junky spots in my hunting spot that I dug four barbers from during labor day. And I dug a really nice early 20th century lane brothers token. It's from Pisgah, Iowa and was David Vredenburgs' first general store. He went on to partner with Charles Hyde and formed the Hy-Vee grocery store chain. And then I dug my first walking liberty half. 1917 with no mint mark but I'm pretty pleased with it anyways!

    Thanks for looking

    on your first WLH. The first is always a huge thrill but it is especially pleasing when it's big silver.

    Gotta love the WLH but that token is really cool. I also have the V3i and have been thinking of getting shooter coil, you may have convinced me.

    My 4x6 dd shooter coil paid for itself in finds in less then a year. It really shines in the woods as well.
    Thanks everyone for the congrats!
