Broke my multi-silver string… But WALKED away happy

[RainorShine]

Got out with Buellride for another day of hunting on Monday. I was working on a streak of 3 multi-silver days, finding 2 SLQ's on one day, and hoping to continue the luck. No more than 15 minutes into the hunt, on the first curbstrip, I got a solid 93 on the Manticore in all directions. Cut and checked the plug - nope, still in the hole. Pinpointed dead center, so I got out my hand digger and carefully popped out some dirt and a nice large shiny silver disc was lying in the bottom of the hole, a 1918S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. When I re-joined Paul, I told him I could be done for the day, and as it turned out, I might as well have been. The only other item of any interest for the next 6 hours was a 1919 Canadian penny. Nonetheless it was a great outing. Thanks for looking. GL&HH

That's a beauty!

Thank you Bluebird. Best part was I didn't hit her while digging or scratch her after I got it out of the ground.

That is a very nice looking 1918 Walker. I love seeing shiny in the hole, but I really love seeing large shiny. A very well done to ya and of course CONGRATS.

Appreciate your comment Hoser. Big shiny just doesn't come often enough. I was really surprised how early it was. All of my other Walkers are from the '40s.

Nice early Walker!

Thank you much Jamflicker.

I'm impressed with the condition for one so old. Dang cool coin.

It's in much better condition than any of the others I have found, so I'll make it the one I use as a conversation piece.
