Happy Father's Day to Me!

[Ill Digger]

Mama said Its fathers day, go out detecting. ::huh:: Sweet! |:confused:)
I was able to find a couple wheats and a bunch of clad. But during the hunt I got a jumpy dime type signal. I dug down to find a big gray disk :shocked04:
It turned out to be a 1935 Walker! :happydance01:

In the same hole with it was a 1907o Barber half! :happydance01: .... with them was 4 giant nails! :eyebrow:

Thanks for lookin' & HH! :grin:

Captain Coinspill strikes again! :pirate: lol

That's awesome, Tim! It's amazing how the E-Trac can still find the silver coins amongst the nails. That 1935 Walker doesn't have much wear on it, so I bet both coins were dropped about then. That 1907-O Barber Half has seen lots of circulation, if only it could talk!

Huge congrats on an incredible Father's Day find! |:confused:)

[RobW]

It's great to find one...but 2 in one hole!!!! |:confused:)

[RaZR]

Some guys have all the luck! I would've found the nails! :omg: :congrats: on some great finds!

GL(as if you need it)/HH

[Lodge Scent]

[coinnut]

Nice |:confused:) 2 halves in one hole is an instant heart attack :shocked04: I would have stared at them not believing they are real lol

[milco]

WOW!!! Tim, that is awesome!! It certainly pays to dig those iffy signals, what a find, congrats to you!

[pulltabsteve]

Awesome recoveries Tim! 2 old halves in the same hole :bananadance: WOW!!!!

[JTGOLD]

[OxShoeDrew]

Congrats on a great hunt! The walker looks like it has a complete head and date too! I'd soak it in distilled water for as long as it takes to loosen the dirt and VERY CAREFULLY lightly toothbrush it clean. HH....
