Brookes first Walking Liberty half and my first 57" Chevy

[lliebsch]

Yesterday October 12th 2012, my daughter Brooke and I went out on a quick hunt before her football practice. We went out to an old house that had been torn down and found a couple of things but none of them spectacular. I asked my daughter Brooke if she wanted to go back over to a friend of mines house where we had found a 1964 quarter. She was up for it so we headed over there. As we were on our way over there I told my daughter that I had got a very good tip from a friend of mine. He told me that if you go really slow and take your time while metal detecting you will pick up those good signals. Well I guess she took that tip at heart. She took my Ace 250 to a spot in his yard where she had already used her Fisher F2 before. She started going really slow while I was working on the other side of the yard with her Fisher F2. As I am working my way towards her I he her yell, DAD! Come here DAD I got one I have never seen before. As I ran over to her I could see it was a Walking Liberty half. We both ran into my friends house and quickly washed it off to see the year. Well it was a 1917 Walking Liberty Half. I think she is stuck on the Ace 250 because she would not give it back to me for the rest of the day!

I'm glad shes standing up against the female stereotype with the football, and shes finding history. You are raising her well! Nice walker!

I'm smiling at this time. I really like a good story and I got a kick from this one. Isn't the young ones a blast? That's what it's all about. Congratulations to Brooke on her great find. I haven't found one of those yet.
