Today started off kind of slow but ended with a bang! I went to a family friend's house this morning and managed two Merc's. Last week, I found a silver GW, 3 war nickels, a bunch of wheats and some cool relics there.
Later in the day, I went back to my son's friend's house where I have been finding lots of stuff from the late 1800's/early 1900's. So far, I've pulled out of the ground there 3 Injun's, 3 Barber Dimes, a dateless Buff, a couple of small gold filled items and a ton of early 1900's bullets/shell casings/shotgun head stamps. After finding nothing but a handful of head stamps and bullets, I decided to head to my car and pack it up since it was getting dark. On my way to the car I thought I would try out a spot between the busy main road and a tree where I found a toasted Injun and an 1899 Barber Dime. I hit a big target that sounded off like an aluminum can but didn't discriminate out like a can would. I thought to myself, "Huh, this sounds like the Walker my girlfriend had me verify in the ground a while back!" I dug down about 6" and popped something big and round out of the ground. I was able to see from the headlights from the next car that passed that it was a Walker! I did my happy dance and turned my detector off but then came to my senses and turned it back on to re-scan the area. Less than a foot away, I got another similar tone. Another Walker! That makes silvers #35 & #36 FTY.
