Clad, clad clad, where's the silver

This past Sunday while everyone was out watching the hydroplane boat races, myself and two buddies hit the parks.

At the first one no one was finding much the first 5 minutes till I got noticeable sound and started digging,
17 dimes, two nickels and five quarters later I had 24 coins, Out of one hole.

And only one zinc penny had been found by the other two. I was kinda embarrassed, but in a good way.

Our second park yielded more for ALL of us,

The third park had a wheat come to one of my buds, and I found 6 quarters at one spot.

All toll, i had 65 coins in 3+ hours, not bad $ 6.99 but But no silver

One of my buddies ended up with 49 finds,and the third had over 40,

Kinda weird, really old parks, great amount of coins, just the silver got away.

PS One of the nice things to stop and look at was the BLUE ANGELS flying by every now and then.

Great fun for all

Clad is my normal find. The gold or silver comes in the form of jewelry which is OK with me. Keep diggin & have fun.

Sometimes you just don't put the coil over that silver coin. I wish I found silver every time out and there are times I find alot of silver in a short time, then suddenly can't seem to find a silver coin. Hopefully you'll have better luck next time you hit those older Parks!! Nice clad counts tho!

The silver is either there or it's not........if one has already been found, there's got to be more..........if more than a few wheats are found, there's got to be some hiding in there somewhere. Congrats on the healthy clad hauls.

Yup, Sounds like our parks LOL

Parks have been hit really hard, so finding the silver means getting down in the ground pertty deep. Both the 1918 & 1917 mercs I pulled last week from a "hunted out" park came from about 8-9". It may still be there, but you need a deep machine and a great ear.

Blue Angles will be flying for our airshow this weekend in Hillsboro, OR ;D

99% of my finds are clad, but that is because the parks I hunt are all fairly new. It adds up to buy more equiptment. Silver is just an added bonus the way I look at it. WAY TO GO on all those coins in one hole!
