Hello Everyone!
I detected a few of old parks this week, and the finds were a plenty!! Earlier in the week I drove to the famous "silver park", armed with my new 6x8 SEF coil, and ended up with 5 silver coins, and about 12 wheaties in only my second outing with this coil. The 6x8 has awesome depth, and better treasure/trash separation. A great coil for high trash areas without a doubt. Later in the week, I went to a park that I had been to only once before, and ended up with 10 silver coins, 6-7 pieces of silver jewelry, and lots of wheats in two consecutive hunts. The SLQ was a surprise. I was saying to my hunting buddy the day before I found that coin about finding an SLQ at this park. Wouldn't you know the following day I recovered the SLQ in my second plug. It's a slicky(no-dater). Also a surprise was the authentic WWII era "Forget Me Not" bracelet links that I found in an 8 square foot area of turf. The lawnmower sure did a number on this piece. Each of the links were found in three separate digs. I was trying to key in on zinc sounding signals, because that's what each piece sounded like. I tried to locate the other pieces, but to no avail. I found all kinds of silver jewelry/charms at this park. From cub scout rings to religious crosses/pendants; even a sterling llama pin. It was a lot of fun. Lastly, I wanted to share a find I made yesterday that a ground squirrel brought up to the surface. I saw just a piece of purple colored glass sticking in the large pile of dirt next to the squirrel's hole. As I pulled the piece out of the mound, it was nearly intact, except for the stopper. After doing some research on the Net, I found the small bottle to be a vintage Kerkoff perfume bottle, which was exported from Paris and sold in the US in the early 20's. Always check those squirrel/gopher dirt mounds. You never know what they will bring up to the surface. It was nonstop digging this week. My right hand feels like one big callus. I'm glad it is callused, or I'd have blisters for weeks.
Thanks for looking!!
