Default First Walker

Hit the yard for an hour and a half - rained like crazy for an hour today, 2 inches of rain. I've been picking junk and clad from my yard for 3 months now and I managed the first silver from my own yard (I knew there's some here, my home was originally built in 1932.) - it's a 1917 S half dollar in really rough shape, but it's my best find. Thanks for looking!

I will say that if I had found a walker, it would be my best friend, too.

Congratulations!

Nice, a silver half, WTG. Sometimes the best place to search is your own back yard. Keep up the good work.
