Hello,
Have not been on for awhile. The finds are getting to be like wringing lemonade from a dry shirt. What follows took me a few weekends, sadly...oh well. The old park I like is only giving up falling branches and mosquitoes and holding the goods for some sort of ransom. Shame on her. This weekend was somewhat salvaged with the little silver ring. Found it in a volleyball sand pit. I spied a large one and people were playing a game, so I came back later...sun was setting, I figured the park would be almost empty...yes...I walked up to the 'empty' pit only to have a group of about seven kids appear out of nowhere to...............play volleyball. So, I had to wait...AGAIN! Finally, they got bored from burying each other in the sand(not a serious game I guess) and left. Kids.
That's it. I also included a pic of the fireworks I saw. Where I was you didn't have to venture downtown and suffer the traffic, just walk down the street and cop a view over the trees a little. There's a country club a few blocks away...lots of rich people I guess, but their display trumps the city's by a long shot...and it's almost right in the front yard. It's really cool, because after the finally you can hear from blocks away all the cheers, hoots and hollers...it's chilling really.
Hope you all had a great 4th.

If the park has been picked clean, it's time to get up some courage and do some door knocking on older home sites. You will find better quality of coins on virgin private properties. Last season I went all over in a 40 mile radius of my house cleaning out all parks, schools, sports fields, and other public properties. I loved a great clad haul day and the occasional silver. I swung fast and pulled a little over $510.00 (face value). This year I have slowed down and do more permissions. The total dollars I find has decreased, but the quality of coins has increased. A typical weekend last year would net about $20 in clad. This year I am lucky to pull $5 on a weekend.
Glad you finally got to hunt that spot ! Keep on digging brother !
