We'll know by end of day Saturday, but now after Thursday's hunt the count stands at 19 December Indians from this Baltimore City park, which gave up 3 today.
Started this hunt with a surprise. Got out of the truck and walked around to the right rear fender to look down at the curb and see an earring lying in the leaves; it's a junker, but a good start.
Not much happened the first hour, some arc lamp electrodes and a small glass bead. Then I switched to the other side of the walkway and got a signal in the 90s. Down about 8 inches was something green and round. You guessed it .... another Indian head cent. But wait, there's another signal in the hole and .... another Indian. One foot from that hole I got a similar signal and again, a small green disc which turned out to be another Indian and the last coin of the hunt. In between these and my last find came a marble, a plastic button, kid's play ring, a piece of glazed redware pottery, and a lady's hairpiece.
Last target of the day showed up as "gold in the hole". I think it is a 19th century cuff button that is gold-plated; note the bent over shank on the back.
I'll be meeting a fellow detectorist at the park on SATURDAY as we explore another area there. We'll see then if Indian 20 pops out of the ground.
