Howdy Folks!
The temperature finally got above freezing here in the Denver metro area,
and I joined with a number of guys from the Eureka Treasure Hunter's Club
to hunt a park where they are doing extensive landscape work. I got real
lucky on this hunt, and within 2 hours, nailed a 1943 Mercury Dime, a 1944
War Nickel and a 1905 V-Nickel.
My wife and I attended the club meeting last night, and she had all the luck.
She bought only 6 tickets, while my pardner and me bought about $35 bucks
worth of tickets between us, and got skunked. My wife got 2 hits, and ended
up with a Walking Liberty half dollar and a Mercury dime before the drawing
was done. And she only bought 6 tickets! Hmmm.
Anyhow, before leaving the meeting, one of the guys told me about the park
where they found some excellent stuff and invited me to come out and hunt
today. While there is still snow on the ground here, and ice, and you really
need a rock hammer to deal with the hardpack, 5 or 6 of us ventured out and
enjoyed hunting the location.
I made a crossing of the open park area, finding only a couple of modern
coins. Then I crossed the tot lot and got a few more coins, but nothing to
write home about.
Then I noticed that the sidewalk had been ripped out and figured there should
be some goodies there. In short order, I found a 1905 V-nickel. After crossing
the field to show it off to the other guys, I returned and soon got another hit,
and popped out a 1943 Mercury dime. Once again I crossed the field to show
off this find and upon my return, got a 3rd hit that turned out to be a war
nickel. I was pretty well stoked about my finds. The others didn't seem to be
having anything near the luck I was enjoying.
Anyhow, I had errands to run and after only a couple of hours in the field, had
to go - reluctantly. But tomorrow is supposed to be fairly warm, and I expect to
head back to that location to see what got missed today!
Thanks for Lookin,
Blessings,
