So Saturday Noah and I drove a couple hours west to avoid all the rain. When we got there we thought we were going to have a great day. Lots of very old houses and lots of yeses.
Unfortunately, every and I mean Every house had been hunted before!! My first signal of the day was a silver ring. That was it. the next 7 hours nothing but clad and wheats, at least one of the wheats was a 24-D. Semi key date I think.
Driving home I'm thinking it might be time for a break. 2019 has sucked thus far.

So Sunday afternoon I get a call from Noah "Hey,you want go out for a couple of hours?" So much for taking a break, I said sure!
We only had time for a couple of houses, one of which was good to both of us. I dug an 1891 Indian and a 1936-D walker.

The Half Dollar King is back! :clapping:

Don't get discouraged, Don. That next honey hole is just around the corner. Maybe this Walker is the spark you need.

I really like that token too. I see that Wood & Shugart is mentioned in this 1909 annual report of the Illinois State Food Commission under the list of creameries and cheese factories.

Congrats on the finds!

:congrats:
 
Yeah you might be having a "bad" year compared to some of your other years but you always seem to get on a hot stretch of hunts. It could be "worse" and you could be like me with half of your silvers being war nicks.

Congrats on the big silver!
 
...and there you go...back on the big silver again! Knew it wouldn't take you too long to start again for 2019!
