I went to a local library today and did a little research. I found a city park where the early settlers use to meet for community picnics back in the 1800's. I'm thinking I may try my luck tomorrow morning.
found an "old" child's ring and a lot of bottle tops. Had my 14 year old daughter with me ( who happens to be grounded) so I made her so all the digging. Man my back feels great LOL.
