After the rain subsided, the park grass was finally ripe for digging
so I headed out Friday with Kimsdad to a 1960-era park.
Tucked back in the corner was a not-so-heavily-used ball diamond
so that's where I started. My first couple of targets were a silver
.925 wedding(?) band from Mexico and a 1964 silver George along
the 3rd-base line. After scoring silver during the first 20-minutes,
I was led into a false sense of security because this was the ONLY
silver that was to be had.
Saturday's hunt with Tim & John (Lowbatts and Skates) was postponed
until this morning due to rain so we re-scheduled for today. . . it was a great
day for a stroll in in the woods. . . or anywhere you could possibly imagine
One of the first areas we hunted had remnants of older camping activity
as broken glass and shotgun shell brass abounded. Sticking out of the mud
was an intact Old Quaker "mini" Whiskey bottle. After some research, I found
out it dates to around the mid-1930's.
After two hours of intense woods hunting, we arrived at an old concession
stand that was completely over-grown (it'll be worth getting back there
either in late fall or early spring). My only score around this stand was a
1944-D silver war nickel.
By the time we got back to our vehicles, I think we were all ready to call it a day.
Thanks for looking!
