I decided to hit a park today because I haven't in a while. It's not very old but I figured I might get lucky anyway.
I got a hit almost immediately near a park bench and dug up a TINY pin of some type, maybe a lapel pin. At first I thought I may have found some good gold (again) but I didn't. It looks to be plated but there are no markings of any kind.
It's bent, has a cross, a crown and is marked "SPS" in blue lettering. If anyone knows what this represents I would love to know. I'm assuming it's for some type of religious organization.
I also dug up another pin in another area that says "Herndon VA Youth Soccer" as well as an American Red Cross nail clipper.
I have to say that if nothing else, this a colorful bunch of finds today. You just never know what's underfoot.
Besides that there was plenty of trash and the usual clad, 20 in all; the oldest being a 1963D penny. I remember when digging up clad was exciting. Not so much these days.
That's about it. There's nothing too exciting but I really enjoyed myself. The weather was perfect.
I'm gonna' try and get up early and pick a really good spot for tomorrow.
I ran into another friend a little while ago who is a third generation farmer on the same property. He gave me permission to hunt the farm any time at all. They have about 1700 acres. Maybe I'll take a ride over there tomorrow. It's less than 10 minutes away.
Thanks for looking and HH.
