Lunch hour BIG SILVER ~ 1944-S Walking Liberty Half dollar!

[oddcoins]

I went to lunch with a co-worker today downtown. After we ate I realized I had some time to do some detecting before getting back to work. So I found a little area that I hadn't covered before . . . . . after digging a clad quarter and a couple Memorial cents I got a nice 90-92 VDI reading on my XLT. . . . pinpointed at 6 inches deep . . . . assuming it was a big piece of junk but hoping for treaure I dug real careful like . . . . . . . . out popped a 1944-S Walking Liberty Half!! WOOHOOO ~ and I didn't scratch it!

Dirty from being in the ground I didn't think much about the condition . . . . . I got home and gently cleaned it up . . . . .I'm glad I decided to take a picture of it before I cleaned it ~ WOW, she sure is pretty! It's cool to see the difference in the before & after pictures.

It's the nicest Walker I've ever found! It's actually only the third Walker I've ever dug.



Thanks for looking

Neil,

Wow that sure cleaned up nicely. It must have been just about brand new when it took its 64 year long dirt nap.

Hope to see you again soon,

Mike

THANKS Dan!

Yeah, It's been a while since I've dug a silver coin! The last one was a 1948 & 1951 Rosie dimes on June 22.

I needed to find a silver coin in a bad way ~ I was starting to think this town was hunted out!
