    Park Hunt - 3/7/11

    Had Monday off so I went to a park that Etrac007 and I hunted about 3 times last year. It has given us a bunch of Indians but has yet to give up older silver like Barbers. Monday was no exception. In 2 hours of hunting I found an 1890 Indian and 8 wheaties including a 1909 which are always fun since there is that brief second of trying to find an S on it.

    They were about 5 to 6 inches deep. Some of the wheaties were only 2 to 3 inches deep. Oddly the deepest coin of the day was a memorial at 8 inches.

    Nice Job Patrick.

    Maybe the people were very poor at that park and there is no silver? Better open up those nickel signals.
