Had to get out hunting today.Shirked my chores, jumped in my truck, and headed down town.Wanted to check out this fairly large park Ive been eyeballin for awhile.Its in a slummy area but I believe its been around longer than the area has been slummy.I drove all the way around it and picked my point of attack.An old baseball backstop with some older trees around looked like a good bet.I ended up spending what time I had (about 2 1/2 hours) right in that area and wasnt even close to being done there!The ground was hard and most targets were in the 3-4" range.When I quit I simply couldnt dig anymore.Bout wore the flesh off of the palm of my hand forcing my digger through the hard stuff.Found some old , found some new.Found my first Kennedy half (not silver).Ten Wheaties(the oldest is a 20).A 48 Washington...COOL.A few old Canooks including a 65 dime that looks silver?....UHHHH....Another gaming token for the collection....A couple old buttons....A Mackinaw City Pin with a buffalo on it ?(Those were the days...when the bison roamed freely accross the straits)LOL......also two wrap rings.One is aluminum and has Hong Kong on the band. The other is copper(Probably plated at one time) and has the image of Christ."Made in Czekoslovakia"Kinda cool!Ill definitely be back to this park.The 60 yard walk back to my truck,I was swingin but not diggin and was hittin good signals one after another.It was a great day to be out and the whole time I was there I had an awesome Baptist Church Ensemble raisin the roof accross the fenceline.Didnt seem like such a bad place after-all.Well heres the pics....sorry about the crummy pics.I was in my garage and the sun was hangin low.....Great digs to eveyone,....Joe

North American coins and prices 2006 is the best book to look all that stuff up in. I always use it!
