A New Season....A First!

Hello fellow forum members. It's been awhile.
I've been out a few times but was skunked in all except one time. It was tough the first few times since the ground was still frozen solid. Another challenge is trying to learn the machine again.
I decided to hit a park past Saturday where I had found Merc's and later silver coins. I got a solid quarter reading about 7 in. or so down. I was pretty happy because at this depth I unearthed silver coins here. As soon as I saw a portion of the coin I knew right away it's a first for me. A few possibilities were already deduced. It's not Barber, definitely older than Frankies, and absolutely not a quarter. It's a WLH! Yoo hoo! My very first WLH!
The first Seated will have to wait...Until then...Here is the picture:
1938 Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Happy Hunting and good luck with the new season.
P.S.
I just took an assignment in Detroit. If you live in the Detroit metro and would like to get together to do some digging, let me know.

I got my first, and only WLH last summer.
I can see, Silverdream, that you like WLHs. Mine is in bad shape but I will take it and I'm pretty happy. That is one first out of the way...
That's another coin on my wish list.
Congrats!

That and there probably wasn't too many of them lost in the first place.

I agree totally.
The halves and the cartwheel dollars are too easy to lose too because they are heavy and can fall out of the pocket.
Especially when the old timers are trying to get on the horses.

I always thought it was from a hole in the pocket and the old lady was too lazy to mend it.
