Hello everyone!

Today I detected some interesting curb strips but they yielded nothing!!

luckily, I was near the old park where a couple weeks ago I found 5 V nickels in a day so I walked over and hunted a narrow strip of steep hill between a cement staircase and a wooded area. It was littered with broken bottle from the 40-50s and old pull tabs. I dug everything and I mean everything, probably close to 100 pull tabs. Found over 10 nickles but none old.

Found a couple of wheats then got a sweet 11-47 signal that ended up being a 1958 silver Washington.

Then, I found a sunbaking 1942-D Walking Liberty half dollar!!

Also, found two silver Roosevelt l, a 1948 and a 1954.

near the end found a 1935 wheatie and an 1898 Indian head penny in the same hole!!

Found a super cool 5 cents in trade token from Finnen and Holifield. I’m assuming it’s from here in Birmingham but it’s my first ever hexagonal token so I’m very happy!

Finally, give credit where credit is due! Last week I commented on Washingtonians post when he found an Indian and said it’s been awhile since I’ve found one and got one the same day!
Today, I commented on mddavis3’s post about his walker half saying it’s been 4-5 years since I’ve found one and now I find one today!! Thank you guys for transferring some of your luck to me, haha!

Oh, sorry, also found 7 wheat pennies, the 1935 and a 1939-D were the oldest!
 

So all I have to do is comment on someone’s post about a gold coin and how I haven’t found one and then I will that day? Going to find that post now...

Almost forgot... fantastic coins btw. Ok, off to find a gold coin post [emoji23]
 

Congrats. Proof that sometimes you have to dig the trash to find the good stuff.
 

Love all the silver, BIG congrats! :occasion14:
 

Wow! What a haul. Congrats on the Walker half, glad I could help with the luck, LOL.
 

What a haul- Congrats! Seems like you need to be making more comments about other great finds!
 

Awesome post and wow thats a healthy looking hunt big silver and some cool coinage. Good job and stay safe out there.
 

I'll take credit for your Indian lol.

By the way, you found 5 V nickels in a day? GG newbs.

Also, huge hunt! I love all that stuff. The Walker is an obvious winner but the token is so cool and unique too. Those are the days we dream of!!
