Met up with John from the Club and we hit a park in Baltimore that was new to me; John had been there once before. Not much, just clad and bullets, so we made the decision to head over to a nearby park and concentrated in a small area there. I had the first good find with a vintage locket that has an anchor, rope and U.S.N. on the front. Next good target I got was a shield nickel, followed by a deep Jefferson nickel, then John started finding some wheats. I finally got my Indian and it turned out to be an 1872, a key date. Not long after that John dug his IHC, a beautiful 1897. So we kept hunting an I got another shield and then a coin that I had only dug once before, a 3-cent nickel; this one has a clear date of 1881. Inspired, John pressed on with his Minelab and turned to me a little while later and says "there's silver here"; he had himself a well-preserved 1912 Barber dime.
John has to leave after midday and I hung around looking for that next IHC, that never came but I did manage a men's cufflink, a collar tab, a war nickel and the remains of a toy soldier.
All of this came from an area that I had covered many times before in the past 7 months.
