Went to Memorial Park again today with Steve (ssehunter aka "Story Teller"). We hadn't gotten many signals at all when he comes through the woods and wants me to check a target he had found, then lost. We get over there and I can't find it. We look some more and about 6' from the hole I get a signal...we look and we both think it's a penny. He rubs off a little dirt and it's a 1909 Barber Dime. We freaked and ^5'd...it's a good day when you find silver at Memorial. Steve had flipped out the target when digging the hole.
A while later I did almost as well by finding a 1916S Merc (yeah, I know, too bad it's not a D
). Didn't get a shot in situ, but I did when I found this Collar Disk from the WWI 33rd Division from Illinois that was stationed at Camp Logan in Houston. This is the same Division as that of the owner of the dog tag I found the other day.
After the hunt pic...Steve's three finds are on the bottom...not sure if his pennies are wheats or not...I think one of them is.
The wheats are 1917 and 191?. The wierd-shaped thingy is a manufacturers plate that was attached to something...Ingersoll something or other.
HH!
