With the temps in the low eighties and the humidity low, yesterday I decided to hit a park that has given up silver in the past. This park is over 700 acres. Part of it runs parallel to a parkway. That stretch is probably 100 acres. I focused on this area because of the numerous pre WW II apartment buildings across the street. It was a common practice for the tenants of the pre- air conditioning era , to seek comfort in the shade of the park's trees. Especially during the heat of the summer.
I picked 3 spots that have given up silver in the past. The first 2 didn't pan out. I noticed at the second spot, evidence of some partying going on. Someone had left a manhole cover partially open. That could be dangerous.
My third spot for the day was probably used as a sledding hill in the winter. It took me about an hour but the DEUS finally sniffed out a 1932 Washington Quarter. About an hour later, I chased a silver signal but recovered a nickel instead. It wasn't until I got home that I discovered that the nickel was a 1945P O.D. nickel. I have recovered these 35% silver nickels before and they have always given me a signal that was at or slightly above a nickel signal. This is the first time I got a silver signal from a nickel. I checked the hole numerous times with the coil and the pin pointer,, and there were no other targets present.
Some cool finds that accompanied yesterday's silver was the crushed Boy Scout Neckerchief Slide and what I think is a toy tea set knife.
