Super crusty Walker

[Squirrel322]

I got out tonight to slog around in the rain and dirt. Went down to the park and first sniffed out a Rosie. A little later I dug a thing, a something. It was getting dark and the something was wet and dirty, I couldn’t tell what it was. Once I got home I could see it was a super crusty 1941 Walker. Crustiest Walker I’ve dug…..

The crusty walkers I’ve dug in the past I’ve just kept crusty. This one is so crusty I’m considering soaking it in vinegar.

Thanks! I’ve pounded this park as have many before me. I’m always surprised when I manage to still find things there.

that's pretty crusty for sure, especially for a silver coin found in a park. Kinda looks like it was maybe inside something like a pouch or wallet that perhaps rotted away

Nice Walking Liberty Squirrel. Hope it cleans up as you expect it to. Crusty or not, its always nice to dig those Halves.

I read this title and thought you had found a photo of me somewhere .. LOL

Congrats on the silver .. Was it in an "arm's throw" of the doll part?

Nice, Good luck with the cleaning. BTW, I had to look at your post...when I read "crusty walker" I thought maybe you had drove by and saw me out walking in the yard...

Boy...I bet tht was a nice surprise when you got home. Crusty or not, its still a big ole hunk of silver. Well done.

Congrats on the silver.

Picture the Walker fully encrusted. That is what all silver looks like that I dig out of salt water.
Your Walker may be in better shape

Looks like the coins I find at the beach. Congrats on the big silver and good luck on your next outing.

The walking liberty half has to be one of the best looking coins the US ever minted. I hope it cleans up for you.
