    Weekend hunts snags another big silver

    Got out Friday, Saturday and today and got a couple of silvers each hunt. The Hi-lite was todays Walking Half. It was a 1918 "D" which was the same year as the last one I found. Also picked up 2 more Merc's and 3 Rosies. I think the wheat count was 7. Wisconsin Digger

    Your Son inspired me. After you posted his Walker I think I commented it was a long time since I found one. Thx for the inspiration. WD
