A bit of a dry spell ends with...

This was about a half inch down at the base of a row of arbs. I thought for sure it was going to be a piece of junk.

That is a GREAT looking coin!! NICE find!! Nice detail still left on it. What are "arbs, BTW?" Anyway, great job -- because if I hit a signal like that at 1/2", I may have ignored it 
Did you happen to look at your digital numbers on it? The only one I found hit 00-30 consistently; most "charts" I have showing how different coins hit on Explorers suggest that a Walker should hit about 00-26, which seems weird to me -- especially after I found mine...

Very nice coin. Congratulations!
sgoss, Arbs is short for "arborvitae" It's a shrub that grows much taller than it does wide. The lack of depth was probably the result of them being planted. Almost made me feel sorry for whoever did the planting.

As for the signal, it hit right on 00-27 and jumped to 28 a few times. The first half I dug with my SE read more like a deep quarter but with less bounce than a deep quarter. I hunt in digital read out all of the time . Your 00-30 may have had a piece of iron in the hole with it. The odd thing was that the audio signal was completely flat, it was high pitched but it had no warble to it at all. That's what made me suspect junk. I was in conductive sounds. Perhaps the coin was close to being on edge? It's not the coveted Benny half that remains #1 on my hit list but I'll take it. If it sounds like a coin, reads like a coin and pinpoints like a coin I dig it even though most half dollar signals I dig are junk.
