    Fathers Day Silver

    I went back out to my sister-in-laws, in-laws place yesterday. This is the same place I found the Golden Gate Bridge badge, and the Walker half.
    It was pretty hot and humid, plus mama had plans to take me out for my annual fathers day Outback steak dinner. So I only hunted the farm for about 2 1/2 or 3 hours. Unbelievably I found ANOTHER Walker! The coolest part about it, Jen, and both of the boys were standing there as I dug it up!!




    Shortly after that I popped a couple more wheats and a .925 kids silver ring!!
    The goodies!


    The ring before cleaning. (sorry a little blurry)


    The silver cleaned up.


    The reverse of the Walker and the.925 stamp on the ring.


    One good fathers day!! Two thumbs up!!
    Time spent with my family and even a little silver lining!!

    Thanks for lookin' & HH!!
