I recently bought a ground shark shovel for digging in the woods. Today i took it out and used it.
I got a really nice sound and had to crank on it to get through the (still) frozen ground in the woods.
Unfortunatly it gouged up the 1919-D walker that was in the hole (full of water) I had dug.
Still a nice find. Also got a shiney nickel.

Oldest U.S. coin = 1834 L.C.
Oldest silver ever = 1839 seated half dime
Still a nice recovery under tough conditions. Plus you get style points for gouging it right across the radial line. I've never gouged one that evenly.
Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter

Great find even gouged ! That's a nice piece of silver
I <3 colonial relics!
Congrats if that really is a 1919D, except "ouch!!!" That specific one was worth quite a bit. Lower end would be around $38 for poor condition. I think your pull tab is more shiny than the nickel...
Nice Walker !! I have a GS that I use quite often in open areas.

Sweet big silver !
Always looking for that next ring !!
Always nice finding big silver. I must admit, in more than 35 years of metal detecting that's the biggest, deepest gouge I've ever seen. Shame it had to be an early walker. The late ones are common. Prior to 1923 they are a bit scarce coming out of the ground. I'm jealous you can even dig. No such luck around my part of NY.
