Hit one of my favorite parks again in San Francisco and pulled out 8 wheaties, a 1935-S buffalo nickel, and two religious medals. The Saint Christopher is sterling silver, it was a solid 6" hit. The silver ring was also 6 inches deep. The buffalo nickel must have been a gopher gift, it was only a couple of inches near a bunch of gopher mounds. Hunted for 8 hours and couldn't find a silver coin? Can you believe it, after the park hunting I hit a wood chip box in a kids play and pull out an 1964 rosie!

I once detected a sand volleyball court and found a 1954 quarter! It Happens ;D Good Job on all that silver :thumbsup: jerry.

It's amazing what kids will bring to the swing set areas in the schools and parks. I've gotten Indian head pennies, buffalo nickels, several silver rosie dimes, and even a Franklyn half dollar once that was right under a swing! ;D Just wish the kids would start bringing the gold coins to school and loose them to in the bark/sand boxes too! ;D ;D
