Picnic grounds silver etc.

[daytondigger]

I went back to the picnic grounds Sunday and found out why there are so many new coins there. The place was packed. Family reunions, club meets etc.. I couldn't hardly hunt my usual spots so I tried the outlying areas. First target was a 1927 Canadian penny. I found a lot of early wheat pennies that need cleaned to reveal the mint marks. I also found a 1908 Indian head penny that looked like it had an "S" mintmark on it, but I'll believe it when I clean it. 3 mercury head dimes including a new one for the coin album(1917-D). Thanks for everyone's comments, this has been a very fun place to hunt. I'm glad I asked permission, I thought for sure the answer would be no, just goes to show. 8)

I just filled a coin tube up with silver dimes from this place, mostly mercs and a couple Barbers. That doesn't include the ones that filled empty spots in my coin albums. A walker, kennedy, several Barber quarters and washingtons, a few Indians and buffalos and a ton of wheaties. What a great place this has been. I hesitate to try anywhere else, but it's been a while since I've dug any old coppers or seated etc.. I think I'll actually try somewhere new this weekend.

Nice haul.

One other guy has hunted it and he hasn't come close to the finds I have.

 

[wildrider]

Lots of goodies. Definitely warrants several return trips.

 

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

I'd say you found the Happy Hunting Grounds, DaytonDigger!

Great going DD. Nice mercs. Looks like the other guy must have been lazy or used a toy detector.

Stay with it until you're satisfied; you never know when permission can be withdrawn. Nice finds, too.

That's probably some good advice, you talked me in to it. Now, if I could actually get a day off from work.............

Thanks, you SILVERFREAK. I love mercs too, but a nice Standing Liberty Quarter........now that's really something.
