Went back to the hillside in my favorite park. Only swung ten minutes when I came upon this beauty.

This is the oldest silver I have pulled from the park :icon_thumright: and it gives me hope that she may still have some to offer.

Nice! That looks like a good place to metal detect. There is probably a lot more good stuff there. How old is the park?

Nice finds and good variety too.

IMO, any time you find Wheaties you're having a good hunt.
The old IH and silver makes it all the better.

The park was established circa 1911. It coughs up the occasional IHP, usually early 1900s. But until now I have only found older Merc's there.

Where you find one there are bound to be more. Congrats on your barber dime. And best of luck hunting that park in the future.
