Went out Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. to try and beat the heat. Using Google Maps spotted an old park established in 1925 in the middle of an old neighborhood only a few miles from my house. Started hunting but there was lots of trash, mainly bottle caps and pull tabs! There was a creek running through the middle of the park, with most of the park grounds sloping down towards it. Found the base of a huge tree that was bordering the creek that looked like it would keep stuff from washing on down into the creek when it rained. Hit the 1953 D Washington Quarter right at it's base, hiding among the roots! It was the first coin I dug at the park! Searched another 2 hours with nothing else noteworthy, just common cents and clads. Decided to drive to a local store to get something to drink but on my way out of the neighborhood I came across a empty lot where a house used to be in the middle of the block. Had to stop, don't you know! Started searching at the curb, working my way into where the front yard was. About 6 feet into the front yard I get my first coin signal, in the low 90s! Out Pops a 1942 Walker!!
Found my first ever Walker only 7 weeks ago! Once again searched for another hour with nothing else noteworthy, just common cents and clads, just like the park! The yard did have signs that it had already been hunted by all the old rusted bottle caps littering the top of the ground, but they missed the Walker!?

Love the Walker.
