1920's Swimming Hole and Camp Grounds

I have know of this place for a long time and it is so over grown and so trashy (pulltab signal every other swing literally) I haven't tried it in years... but I recently passed by and they had some heavy equipment down there doing something... so I had to go look... they were tearing up the old mini golf course and it was cleared where I could get in there and hunt... so guess what I did... 60 seconds in and first signal BAM 1926S Wheat.... I go alright this is going to be a good day... well unfortunately it was that good but it was ok... I got 4 wheat's 1926 S 1926D 1946 1956 and lots of pulltabs and bottle caps them dang metal bottle caps have been the ground so long the read as a penny/dime! Grrr Its an awesome location I will be going back as they clear out the are more.... As I was working my way through this area I was thinking I bet I could find one on top of the ground... and guess what.... Check out the pictures...

Thanks for looking..

It would be... if I could get to it... its full of murky muddy water... looks more like a pond... and I believe thats the way it was back then... there was no chlorine crystal clear pools back then at least not public ones...

yeah... but not in the pool area its full of dirty muddy mucky water I bet 2 to 6 feet deep... There is an island in the middle but the whole place is way overgrown now... thats whey I went out in the first place because they was doing ground work in that area... I hope they clear off more!

That's a great looking spot with a lot of potential. I'd slap on the smallest coil I could get my hands on and spend a lot of time there.
Good Luck!

We own some property in Moran and I went into the swimming area 5 or 6 years ago when it was dry. Due to all of the crap that was in the bottom I wasn't able to do a lot, but did find some silver, wheats, and LOTS of newer coins. Several "whatsits" came up as well.

I always wanted to hit the mini course as well, but was told I could only go into the water shed area.

What are they planning to do with the place now? I haven't been out in a few years.
