A few months back the crew and I ran into this small park, there’s not much to it, just a baseball field and outer lawn areas. I don’t believe a minute went by that day before the Explorer had sniffed out a silver Rosie. On a second occasion, there was another Rosie, and this last weekend I managed to find a mercury dime there. Yesterday, with a few hours to spare, I decided to give it another try in my best attempt to keep up with Tom who has given me a run for the money with that M6 of his.
At one point, I thought I had this park figured out………I was constantly hitting wheat pennies back to back on a line. I tend to form what I’ll refer to as fault lines out of these places. Coins, trash and silver sometime seem to run uniform along a boundary. Anyhow, in my mind it was either a question of time before a silver coin popped out, and it could possibly turn into a multi silver day. While that little area where the wheat pennies were coming out did not produce, right alongside a concrete path next to some tall grass appeared this silver quarter at about 3”. This park is hesitant in coughing up more than one coin, but has always given up a treat.

Congrats on the silver.

I have a park like that by my work. It seems like it only gives up one keeper each time I go....just enough to keep me coming back. I only recall one time that I hunted it and found a silver quarter and a barber dime a few feet apart in the same hunt. Last time I went, out popped a 1935 Buffalo nickel from an area where I enter a baseball field so I've must have missed this one a few time....it did just rain the day I found it.

Keep at it and happy hunting.

Ricardo,

Nice going on the quarter. It's always great to find silver. Sounds like you have a nice spot to hunt there. I hope you find many more!

Man...!!! ??? I mentioned this in another post, if your pulling out silver from this ballfield. Then you have a long way to go because after that silver your going to find copper. Old Copper IH, small and large cents, gold, V nickles and buffalo's. :icon_pirat: If its anything like the ballfield around here then you have lots of finds to come. ;D Old ballfields are great! ;D

PS: Always enjoy your posts, hope to see more Youtube Videos soon too.

Keep @ it and HH!! :D
