Nate was off school on Friday so we decided to scout some new places. League park was opened in 1891 and there was a lot of activity there until 1946. Got there and there was still part of the original stone structure standing – very cool.
However the detecting was a bust. We were digging 80’s clad at 7-8 inches. So we gave it a good shot but moved on to another “downtown” park. Took a while to find the park and it was not what I expected. Found out later looking at Google maps that I was in the wrong part of the park. Anyway, another bust – not even a wheat penny. So packed up and went to old faithful. Was starting to get late and rain was moving in but we had to go home with something for the day. Turns out we were not disappointed. Was working a trashy area and thought I heard a good tone in with the junk. Dug the plug and pulled out a newer style pull tab. Probed the hole and pulled out a 1946 nickel. Rescan the hole and one more – a SLQ! No date but I was happy.
Other merc and rosie were from last weekend from a different site. One wheat was a 1916 and in fair shape the rest 40’s and 50’s and roached.
