Back to the zoo parking lot, 4 more silver coins.

[Dan(NM)]

I went back to the parking lot that gave up 13 silvers and 27 wheats yesterday to save some more history. I was hoping that they would scrape a little more dirt off, instead they had already laid down basecoat over most of the lot. There was a small area still exposed so I decided to hunt it for the last time. In just over 2 hours I took out 3 more mercs and a barber along with 7 more wheats. Ended up with 17 silver coins and 34 wheats, 2 tokens, a silver ring, 3 Mexican coin and a handful of clad in about 8 hours of hunting. I was told that they will be scraping the rest of the lot sometime this month, you know where I'll be hanging around

Congrats! It pays to keep a sharp eye on paved sidewalk, street and parking areas at old places. Hunting a very old site in town close to home, was finding a few silver Rosies and Merc's and knew there had to be barbers and Seated there. Bought a Tornado coil to hear a little deeper but didn't help. They excavated a small 10 yard by 10 yard area for a small parking space 6-8 inches deep and I was the first one to notice and detect it. Was pulling up old silvers 6-8 inches deep in the excavation. So the good stuff was 14 - 18 inches deep, well beyond getting a signal I would dig. Watching some Youtube videos of some guys detecting sidewalk and street tear outs in very old towns raking in the old coins, shorted out my Iphone from all the drool and slobber dripping off my chin
