I added a post earlier in the week of an old local park with construction going on and that it was for new playground equipment. Yesterday it hit me that if one park is getting new stuff then maybe the rest are also. I drove down by another one and sure enough, it had been dug up too, so I looked at my watch and seen that I had three hours before work and made a mad dash for home to get the dfx. After getting started it didn't take long and I had a small boy around 5 or 6 helping me out. He caught on pretty fast about pinpointing the target when I passed over it and was a bit quicker at getting down to the spot before me. We did manage to find a few wheaties, and since he was slingin' dirt like a dog burying his bone, some were a little harder to locate. Of coarse just as I was about to pull the merc from the side of a plug, he thought he was gonna lay claim to it and so I told him that the next signal was his and he could dig and keep it. Well it wasn't long before the next signal and I dug the plug and got him started before walking on to find the buffalo nickel when I heard him say it's a ring, then a little girls voice said yep it's a ring alright. He came running up to me and handed it to me and I cleaned all the dirt off it and gave it back and told him to put it on his finger. As he was running off to show mom he said, I'm gonna grow up and hunt treasure just like you. So there you have it, the next big treasure hunter is born. It was a copper ring but still a very neat one like an old cereal box ring. For me it was a 42 merc, 40 jefferson, 29 buffalo, and 7 wheaties: 19s,37,2-45's,46,52d,53d, and a small silver round ingot.
