Hello Everyone!
I managed to detect a couple of parks this week, along with a different park last week, and did as well as I could expect from three, heavily pounded parks. One of the parks was the "silver" park (I know, I couldn't stay away from there for very long
). The "Barrio" park I went to on Monday with Mike(Ratman) produced around 12 wheats, and a 1919 D mercury dime, and a sterling ring. My most interesting find that day was an old medal from the 1915 Pan-Pacific International and Pan-California Expositions(World Fairs in San Francisco and San Diego). It was a gold medal awarded to Eastside Brewing Company for their excellence in the making of their product, EastSide Beer. EastSide Brewing Company was also known as Los Angeles Brewing company from 1897-1920. I'm attaching some researched information on the Brewing Company. It was a very cool piece of Los Angeles history, in addition to having a gold medal awarded to an acoholic beverage just before Prohibition started in 1920.
Yesterday, Mike(Ratman) was going to detect the "silver" park for a few hours, and I couldn't pass up the invite. We went to the older section of the park, where we've pounded to death this area many times over. The finds were sparse; just a few wheats, but I did manage to find an 1897 Indian Head; a tough find next to an underground pipe and a large root. I was happy to get that coin.
It was getting late, and my consecutive silver streak was in jeopardy. We moved to a hillside, which was to be our last spot for the day. Wouldn't you know it...within the first minute of swinging my coil, I managed to find a '60 Rosie at 1" under the surface. 
The streak remains alive!! 
After finding a few more wheats, I decided to call it a day. The other two Rosies and wheats in my pic were from another pounded park where I had a 6 silver day last week.
I probably won't be going out again til next week to try for #50!! Of the 49 turf hunts I've been on, some only lasted a couple hours, while others lasted around 4 hours. Honestly, I never would have imagined that I could go out almost 50 straight times and find at least one silver coin on each trip.
It's fun to have a different challenge this year on my hunts....my motto, "Just 1 Turf Silver" has held true the entire year.
I want to wish all my friends a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Eat as much as you want tomorrow, as long as you go out detecting in the coming weeks to burn off all the calories!!
Thanks for looking!
Keep The Passion High!
