Did some research and used Google Earth for the first time to really get a birdseye view of where I wanted to hunt. When I got to the location, I found it was a contolled access area owned by the City.
I almost drove on by but decided I would go in and ask for permission. When I walked in, I had a big smile on my face and got right to the point. I got permission immediately with the warning that 8 or 9 folks had already been there this year and found nothing so I would probably be wasting my time.
To make a long story short, I targeted what looked like a depression of an old roadway that ran between two large oak trees. I had these two coins in my pocket in the first 10 minutes. The slick Barber came first and I thought it was modern when I hit it because it was right on top of the ground about 1/2 inch deep. That coin has seen some swapping of hands before it found its way into the ground! The 1872 Seated Dime was next at about the same depth nearby. I guess the compacted ground of the old road bed kept them from sinking.
I hunted a little while longer and covered only about 1/10th of the area available to hunt. I plan on saving the area to take my young sons to for a chance for them to find old silver!
Thanks for looking!
