Hunt with Digger Don = Indian Head, Walker and Silver Dimes

[Tony Two-Cent]

I met up with Digger Don and his son Alec this morning for some detecting at a couple of parks. It was cold and windy but we had a lot of fun anyway. The temperature was 26 degrees when we started hunting, but hey, at least the ground wasn't frozen!

At the first park we hunted at I found a 1906 Indian Head Cent and a couple of wheat cents. This park has been hunted heavily and finds were sparse, so we decided to try a different site.

At the second site I found the 1943 Walking Liberty Half within the first 5 minutes. I also got 3 silver Rosies at this site and a few wheat cents. By about 2:30 in the afternoon I was just about frozen so we called it a day and went our separate ways.

I thought I was just going to go home but after I rode in the car with the heater cranked up I decided to stop at "Silver Park" on the way home and try my luck there. I found 2 Mercs and several wheat cents before I decided that I couldn't take the cold any more.

It was nice meeting Don and his son and I hope to hunt with them again!

I was thrilled to find a Walker. It was a perfect signal at about 7" deep.

Congrats on the finds especially the half. That's the way to start new year.

That's a very nice cache of cash! The bobbin is pretty nifty. And all the "trash". I use the trash as bartering: I'll pick up your trash if you let me hunt! So it's not all bad!

[Digger Don]

Wow, That Walking Liberty cleaned up really nice. Thanks again for taking us to a couple of your spots. We had a great day.
Congrats on your 6 Silver day.

Very nice hunt Tony. All them silvers and a ton of wheats. :clapping:I hate it that some of the deep wheats almost register as silvers. :lol: Nice green Indian too. Not a lot of junk considering on how may coins you have. You cherry pick good :lol:
