My First Walking Liberty Half

[osgood]

Working an 1822 church, in private hands, with permission got this half, my first of its type, 1936s. Got it in the fringes, right after I told the owner, a lot of folks forget to check the buffer, near the property line. Quite stunning when you find that 8 inches under. The Rosie dime was with it. The property has had 5 different private owners in the last 50 years and most of the soil was replaced about 1940 after a huge flood. Although heavily worked the LTD also got me this merc, 1943, and a barber dime, 1911. Also got several very early wheat backs, but no large cents or seated libs or indian heads, as I had hoped for. Im happy none the less. The lady used to be an archeologist and she said dig it with a shovel , if you dont I will! Thanks for lookin, Good Hunting, CO

My first decent find was a Walker years ago with my trusty White's! It said "Silver half at 2 inches" I thought "Yea right" - Sure enough, there she was! You had a great day! Nice finds! I love old churches!!

Great finds osgood,
I love that WLH and it's in lovely condition.

Four silvers in one hunt is a fabulous outing.
Well done M8.
