3 hours at the park with Jeff of PA!

[DKinPA]

Hey all............I literally worked for three hours today in an area that was no larger than 20 yards square!! Signals all over the place....mostly iron and nails that made me stop and take notice....BUT.....patience paid off again today!!!!

I didn't have near as much cash in my bag as Jeff today but I did match his wheat total with 5. I had a 1909,1910,1913,1913 and 1944, all actually in pretty nice shape."

My first decent find of the day was this 1892 Indian Head cent.....NO....I didn't scratch it like that!! This cent was bent in half when I found it....so I did a little "fixin" when I got home!!


My second goody of the day came out at only about 3" deep, this time a well beat 1888 Indian Head cent......but still an Indian!!


And, after Jeff and I kept saying "There has to be silver here"............just before we quit I found this 1926 Merc at about 6"!!


Thanks for lookin!!

HH

Dave

It was a great day for detectin'

Looks like you guys did good.

I got out to explore an a park that is possibly going to be protected soon. Alot of talk in the newspaper about it, Camp Security.

I found a dump site in the woods with a lot of glass on the surface but nothing looked very old, all screw tops and a lot of mason jars. My detector was overloading so I just walked around swinging in no particular area. Found no old stuff at all or post.

I want to start a training program for park maintanence staff to pick up the dam soda cans before they shred them with the mowers!!! Who's with me??
