A recent trip to the local Ghetto park netted a higher than normal amount of finds. 1889 seated, 1943, 1944D merc, 1960 roosy dimes '43S warnickel 1898, 1903, 1906 indians 1891, 1902 V nickels and other assorted goodies. Most of these were fairly deep in soggy root infested ground so the digging was hard, but worth it. This spot had lots of iron and trash, but the Explorer cut through it pretty well. I can only hope all future trips out there would be half this good! :D Take care and HH, Mike.

Fantastic finds, Mike! Congrats on your seated!

Whenever I can, I go to my local ghetto parks to find the real oldies too.

Nice Finds! I found a gun similar in size to the one in your pic a few weeks ago at an Elementary School. Any idea on what it used to go to?

Greg,

Send a message to Nana40. She found one of those and posted it last year. I kinda remember that there was a squeeze bulb attached to the guns grip at one time and when you squeezed the bulb it shot out water I believe.

FANTASTIC hunt. I have been thinking about a trip to downtown to hit some of the older ghetto parks where most people may not want to detect at. Your post has made me think even harder about doing that.
