MY FIRST WALKING LIBERTY

[WheatbackDigger]

This is my first summer metal detecting, so I am kinda excited about this find. My first walking liberty, 1916 minted in Denver. Found at 8.5 inches. Also found my second mercury about 100 feet from this location. 1941, Funny thing is, it was less than 1/2 inch deep. Also found my 10th silver ring for the summer. This was my first adventure in this particular park and spent about three hours hunting. Small town, USA. Don't think its been detected much. Also found a couple of wheaties and tons of clad.


Picture does no justice, my camera is crap. Both coins are in beautiful shape

1916-d is a key date, and worth some $$ if it's in good+ shape. Haven't heard of many being found.

Using a white's dfx. ?I have so much to learn yet, but getting there. ?Its paid for itself in about three months. ?4 gold rings, 2 gold bracelets, 10 silver rings, and about $320 in clad, a few silver coins, one large cent and about 40 wheaties. I really like this machine

Must have been some really heavy gold rings & bracelets?? to cover the cost of a DFX with only $320 in clad too..

Justice or not, I love finding those Walkers. The older the better. Nice find.

One ring has a small diamond that was appraised at 400 and the mens wedding band was appraised at 250. So 400+250+320 comes to $970, I paid $976 from kellyco shipped to the door. Thats not counting my other two rings and 10 silvers, but who is counting

Small towns are sometimes the best. Big town = lots of people with metal detectors. I am from the Cleveland area. Guess the good thing is that there are lots of places to detect Anyway, Great finds. We(my son and I) have only found one half dollar - a 1943 Walking liberty. I found it at the house my dad grew up in. Kinda special. Good luck.

PS - do you have a scanner? You might need to get one so you can post all the beatiful stuff you find in all it's detail. l

Nice silver, I found my first walking liberty last tuesday, at about 5 inches. It was a 1943. I hunt with a xlt, and mainly use it for cw relics. Congrats on your success !

That is a great haul Doug.
On the Camera if you just back off about another inch I think it would have come out clean and in focus.
Give it a shot. Also does it have a macro setting? Thats the little emblem that looks like a Flower in a pot on the camera?

Congratulations again.

That is one of the most beautiful U.S. coins made, I hope to find one someday.

Good luck!

You are doing well on the finds, congrats! Looks like you are not using the cameras macro mode like Floater pointed out. HH, Mike
