Found Some Change In A Small Old Park

[Bridge End Farm]

Was passing this little park today and said what the heck got no where to be. Spent about an hour there swinging around the trees and found a 1954D wheat, a bicentinal 2 bits, and a few other pennies and another 2 bits of clad. The bicentinal was the deepest at 7 inch. Best part of all was a little old lady doing laps around it. She stopped and asked me if I found anything. I said just a old wheat penny and some other change but I hadn't been there long. She pointed to a house and said I live right there stop by sometime if you want to look around it. It was built by my great granddaddy around in the middle 1800s

Way to go. Thats how I get alot of sites to hunt, by curious people coming up and talking to me while I'm detectin. They always have stories to tell and sometimes can provide local history and good places to go detect.

forget the pocket change the "find" of the day was the invite to hunt the old homestead. see being polite pays off.

Yes one should always be polite and share our hobby. I have a hard time when kids start to trail/help me and not letting them find something. Even if it stops my own hunting as I usually have a few pennies in my pocket for them or give up one I found. Tosssing one of them when they are not looking and saying I think there is something over here. Leaving it to them to rustle through the leaves or sand and discover. lol sometimes it can be a distraction but it is always a smile
