4th visit to this park for me.
All I have been doing so far is cleaning out the basketball area well where I found that gold medallion 14 days ago, and then aimlessly wandering around the rest of the park...all with my F2 and that small hockey puck coil, too.
The Compadre and my Vaq have not had their turns as yet, but their time is coming soon.
Totals so far on my first 3 short hunts...
Tons of clad
A wheatie
That gold medallion
A 3 ringer bullet.
Surprises on every hunt, today was no different.
From two other areas in this park I found more today.
My first V nickel.
Part of the outline of Lady Liberty's head is barely there, I thought I only dug a brass slug in the field, but when I got home I looked closer and compared it to a V and it matches.
Why this thing is so smooth I have no idea, the back is even smoother, but I know what it is and it counts.
The second thing I found is even better...more gold!
Small, 2.5 grams but it says 10k and it has a nice garnet.
The wife has already taken possession of it and I don't think she will ever let this one go because she likes it so much.
I also found an earring that I thought might be gold.
It came up clean and is old because it has an old style screw back, something I haven't seen in years.
No marks, I don't really think it is gold, the rocks are not real, for sure, but it did come up super clean from a few inches deep so I will check it out, anyway.
You never know.
This ring is number 10 for this year on my ridiculous quest for 12 pieces of gold I vowed to find on Jan 1 hunting only in the dirt.
Gold target number 3 that I have dug in only the last 14 days.
Even if this earring is not gold that goal does not seem so ridiculous anymore.
I actually do have a shot at this.
Except for the basketball court I have barely touched this place.
I am not sure what exactly transpired around here in the past, but I like it.
This might turn out to be one of the greatest sites I have ever found to hunt due to the amount of great finds and the diversity of those finds on my first few short hunts mostly aimlessly just walking around with only that small coil, so far.
Guess where I will be spending a lot of time in the future?
