Hello My Friends!!

I'm having a pretty productive week so far detecting two heavily pillaged parks. :whip2: Every detectorist in S. Cal has probably been to these two parks if they are interested in finding old coins.

Today, I met up with Bob(Bullfrog), Mike(ratman), and his Dad at an LA barrio park. Bob had to leave early, but no sooner after we greeted each other in the morning, I was locating deep targets. The wet, saturated ground has definitely helped in finding the really deep coins. Today, I found many of my teen wheaties, the '04 Injun, and the token beyond 9" in a heavily detected area. These signals were very faint, and if you didn't know what to listen for, you would have passed right over them. The signals were zinc'y and broken in tone. I think out of the 20 wheats I found today, about 10 of them were in the teens and 20's, including a 1909(Philly mint). The token says "Morton's Stag Lunch", "Redondo Beach", "Good For 10 In Trade". Any info on it would be appreciated. It was a lot of fun to detect the old Barrio today. Oh, and the little silver mariner's pendant was a signal I normally don't dig, but since I was showing Bob at the time what a pull-tab to zinc target was, I just happened to dig the small piece of silver.... ::)


Thanks for looking!
Keep The Passion High! :headbang:

Very nice finds. I just purchased an SE Pro and I am looking forward to finding some of that good stuff. Seems to be real different than my GTI 2500.
 

Another great day you had and those merks are in great shape.
