Another Walker And WWI MTC Collar Disk

[Sooper Dave]

The weather has been great around here and I was able to get in a nice hunt. My last coin on the hunt before this one was a 43 Walker so when I got a shallow 1-46 2-46 on the Etrac starting off, I thought no way is this going to be a silver half. I dug a deep plug but the target was only down about 3". I used my hands to split the plug open and revealed that awesome sight of big silver! I couldn't not believe my luck on another Walker. I finished up my hunt with some other nice old coins and as I was headed out I got a great signal that sounded like a silver quarter, but what popped out looked like a button of some kind. It was so caked with dirt that I could not see any detail to tell what I had. I could tell it was a collar disk because of the threaded screw post on the back. I used a tooth pick and a dry toothbrush to clean it up and then researched it to be a WWI Motor Transport Corps collar disk. That was a fun surprise. I sure hope spring has sprung, HH David

Nice 1944 walker! Big silver is always good silver

Great hunt and ain't it amazing how many silver halves were dropped. I really like the ground discoloration shots you took.

Congrats on another big silver

Thanks Scrappy. I love seeing that dark spot in the soil. Even better breaking open a coin ball when just the edge of the coin is sticking out.

Wow, I need a hunt like that Sooper Dave Congrats on all the old keeper coins. I particularly like that collar disk. Half the fun in finding one is to research and finding out when it was in use.

Thanks Loco Digger. I agree it's a lot of fun researching a piece like this. And then I like to share that info with the family. They seemed to enjoy it too, or they just think I'm crazy... Either way it's fun!

That was a sweet hunt,,
Walking Liberty and a Mercury Dime, and then some wheat, Buffalo & O.D. Nickels, a Rosie, and that Collar Disc is Fantabulous.
Congrats on a "Go Back Location"

Thanks against the wind. It's always fun when you can dig an assortment of goodies on a hunt
