I don't usually hunt parks ! I usually relic hunt in the woods and old farm fields ! It is just how I prefer to spend my valuable detecting time . I also feel my little Tesoro is just not suited for coin shooting ( like silverfreak ) in a 113 year old park that has been pounded by every M-der in town for the last 40 years ! However I got laid off from work last Friday and I have time on my hands, and the park is only 2 blocks from my house ! So I decided my little tesoro and me would go on a jewelry hunt in the park today. I went with the attitude that I would dig everything just above foil on my machine, I concentrated on the area that the high schoolers play Frisbee on almost every nice day. I was after GOLD ! My third pass gridding and finding Plenty of can slaw and pull tabs I finally pulled this Little 10 K ring out of a hole ! ! One gold in my first hour ! I was feeling optimistic ! Well that was it for the gold ! I did make a few other Interesing finds ! The big brass peace symbol and the brass feather key chain end were in the same hole about 4 inches down ! I don't Know how the others missed this cause it was a screamer ! I also found 1 no date Indian, 1 no date Buffalo, and 1 1945 wheat, The Big surprise was the cast iron toy wheelbarrow. I knew it was a good sized ferrous object and I suspected an ox or horse shoe since I dig plenty of those ! nope not a shoe! 8 inches down a cast iron toy wheelbarrow ! I never would have guessed I would find it in a pounded out park !! I invite one and all to go hunt this park I am even Including a map ! It is actually the architects conception drawing from 1897.
