Went up to the town where my mom lives today and went out to an old community picnic grounds. They hold a huge picnic there every year in august and thousands of people attend. This has been going on for around a 100 years now. I figured it might be a good spot to find something. Got to spend a couple of hours there and then my batteries went dead. Did not have spare batteries along so had to give up for the day. Next time I carry spare batteries with me. Any way I found 19 wheat pennies today and 2 silver rosies. Also found 6 modern pennies, 1 modern dime, 1 modern quarter, 1 1947 nickel, a pin that looks like a footbal, a nail of some sort, and a copper tee fitting. Not bad I guess for just a couple of hours.
