Interesting walk, clad, exercise and a bit of vindication.

[WHADIFIND]

First of all, I thought I was having hallucinations. I was seeing elephants!



At least.....they weren't pink.

Now, you all know I've been fighting this last place all winter long. Trying to at least find some Wheaties!! Which....of course...I did *not* find today either! But....as I've said all along, I just *knew* the old coins ***HAD*** to be there...SOMEWHERE!!

Today? A tiny bit of vindication:





91 in every direction dance!



Finally.....ahhhhhh!



The little thing below the half is a small tombac.



An air pump...that was buried and still works!



Strange piece, bout blew my headphones off! Some sort of flat container. No markings.

Thanks for peeking!

Congratulations on a nice big silver. She is a beauty. Persistence does pay. Keep swingin (and walkin).

Sweet!!! Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Nice! My next door neighbor's lawn produced maybe 75 wheaties and 1 Merc. 75' away, my lawn produced ONE wheatie and a few other things. Their house used to be a school.

Lovely coin! Glad you got something out of there! Is that a film canister? Also: cool elephants.

Congrats on the Walker! Hey, I found a match to your round brass piece with 3 holes (above the pump) last weekend at an early site. You found a mix of modern to 1700’s (tombac) I wonder what the round piece is?

Thanks!

A film canister did cross my mind. Nothing inside though. Not even a memory of any film. I've no clue. Seems too big to have held cosmetic powder.

Doesn’t that 91 sound Ssooo sweet!? I’ve only found one, with my ATP my second year detecting, and I remember that like it was yesterday... 91 91 91. When I dug my plug I gave it extra berth, while I didn’t know what I was, I knew it was special. I’ll never forget that feeling when she “Walked” out of the hole... Great save, Whadi... may you enjoy that feeling for awhile. Ddf.!

What a beauty! I can hardly wait to get my coil over one....one day

That doesn't look like a " tiny bit of vindication "
to me ! That's massive vindication !

[Tuberale]

For folks with the AT, yeah...91, 91, 91....sweet sound! Most of the time its a solid brass bolt, pipe, nut, etc. But, even as few times as I've actually gotten a large silver. I can pretty well tell the difference in a coin hit. For one thing, its a shorter signal.

In any case I still go into my 90 in all direction "dance". I go around and around checking it over and over. Don't get them very often so I want to live with it for a while.

Thanks!

I was so use to digging trash when I got my 90 signal a walking liberty half was the furthest thing in my mind till I picked it up. Congrats on a nice find. Makes all the time worth it.
