I found my first Walking Liberty Half Dollar

[Ant]

Found Sunday, My first Walking Liberty Half Dollar. I found it looking for gold, you can tell by the trash I dug. The sound it gave was similar to a large gold ring.

I uncovered it at 7”, it was under 1 ½ pull tabs.

The first thing to come out of the hole at 4” was a beavertail without the finger ring part. Then at 5” a complete pull tap came out. I check the hole again and it was still screaming. After digging about 2 more inches the old lady showed herself, I was jazzed to say the least.

I found a few other cool things yesterday but I'm too tired to post them right now. I’ve got to be up bright and early, 5:00AM. The blue dot on the picture is where I found the WLH and the blue box shows the pull tabs that came from the same hole. Hopefully the scuff marks will come off when I clean it up, that ground is very hard to dig in at this time of year.

The irregular heptagon (I think that’s what it’s called) coin in the last picture is a 20 pesos coin from Mexico. I already have one of those worthless obsolete coins, see last picture, bottom right.

Hey Ant.......Congrtulations on the "big one". I know precious few of us have dug silver dollars....so that's about as good as it gets (Silver coin wise)...until you hit a gold coin. Half dollars are always a pleasant surprise. I suppose that a Barber might be cause for an even broader smile....but I can't speak from experience there. I enjoy digging the walkers though.
