I live about a block from this park. Now that all of the kids sports are over for the season, I can throughly hunt it. I have noticed some funnythings about this park over the summer ( first sumer my kids played sports there) The first being that the name of it is "Triangle Park" because it is square, second that there is a funny looking building there, and third that there is a row of trees that are in an odd location. My son & I were there Wednesday after I got home from work, flying his R/C plane. As he was flying the plane, I was just standingthere looking around, and thinking it was odd how the road at the other end just dead ended in the parking lot, and BAM!! it all made sense! It appeared that that road & sidewalk use to run diagnally through the park ( which wold have made 2 triangles) and the odly placed row of trees ran alongside the sidewalk. There are 2 exsisting baseball diamonds where the funny looking nuilding is at.
Saturday we went to the museum in town, and after what seemed like hours, I spotted a picture of where the old high school use to be ( The middle school on the site now was built in 1962) Sure enough, there use to be a road & sidewalk that ran through the park, and the funny looking building was the game officials/score keepers box office & concession stand.
Today I went and did some detecting for about 2 hours . I wish I had stayed longer (darn wives & cell phones!) I did great there! I ended up with a horse shoe, a pocket knife (very similar to one I found a few weeks ago) a little spoon, a cheap heart bracelett, a cheap lockett, a key, and play money,and a pile of clad ( I'm starting to hate zinc pennies) 4 silver quarters, 3 mercury dimes, 3 silver roosevelt dimes, and 6 wheat pennies.
I have only searched a small section because I was digging most targets ( I can't seem to pass up pull tabs sense I found that gold & ruby ring) It is a good sized area, so I will have a good hunting spot very close to home. I plan on hunting it next weekend as well.
