Hey all-
Just got back from hunting with fellow t-netter Josh and what a day we had! We started at an old park near Seattle and it produced a few clad coins but after about an hour we were ready to try something different. So we found another old park and started hitting the areas that were original. After each of us finding some more clad Josh found a wheat cent while I found crushed beer cans. Not to be undone I ventured back to where I had walked and BAM! A loud solid signal. Thinking it was yet another beer can I dug a wide plug and started searching the hole. It was a full six inches and my pinpointer said it was still there. So I dug a little deeper around the edges and I saw something I thought was a round edge. Not knowing what it was I picked it up and an eagle was staring me in the face. My jaw dropped and my heart skipped a beat! Turning it over I saw the walking liberty and the date 1937! I screamed for Josh and he must have thought I found the Ark of the Covenant! I was yelling "Big Silver! Oh my God!" My hands were shaking as he ran over and slapped me on the back! I was shaking so bad!It looked like it had been dropped the day the man got it from the bank. Josh saw the mint mark and remarked it was a real good find to make in Seattle area. I'm still shaking! My first BIG SILVER! Thanks to Josh for letting me join him today. It has been awhile since we have hunted and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. What a day to find a find of lifetime on the West Coast!
P.S. Josh found a really cool motorcycle toy that dates to same time frame that I hope he will post. HH
