For anyone that knows the Kalamazoo area parks I'm sure that you've detected this park before, it's called crane park. I don't know the exact history of it but I suspect that it's been there for many years and Sunday I finally got out to do some detecting after the temps had finally warmed up some.

The snow was very wet and I soon found out the cheap pair of boots that I had purchase in the fall leaked so I was bummed about that but I continued on and ended up finding a couple nice keepers that day. I found a clad quarter, dime couple cents and finally an 1831 large cent. It's not in the greatest shape but I'll take it :)

The following day I happened to notice while looking at a video that I had made on facebook that the quarter that I had found was a miss strike which put another smile on my face, I thought at first that it was just another regular old clad quarter

Brent the park definitely has some history, one of the oldest known homes in Kalamazoo was right near it until 1989 when the demolished it.
