With high winds and rain ,the boss sent me home early today.After the 70 mile drive home I was anxious to get out and do some swingin.I grabbed my Whites and headed out for where I did not know.Ended up in the innards of Flint behind an old school with a monument date of 1929.The school was fenced off but behind it was an area I guess you would call a park??The road going in was barricaded off to vehicles.There were a few houses along the road in but they were boarded up or burned down.Real creepy area...trash everywhere and an unpleasant odor in the air.Anyway,I made my way into this "park" area and started swingin.My first dig was a memorial penny but my next was a 1919wheat...cool! I had to notch my disc up a little as the trash was mind boggling,but I knew there were goodies mixed in.Memorials were popping up like dandylions everywhere I went with better targets every so often.Spent about 3 hours looking here and there just getting a feel for the area.Ended up with a couple neat relics,3 silvers and four wheats(1912, 17, 19, 25) Oh yeah , and that big chunk-o-gold!! Mans 14k lawnmower droppings...I dont know what made me dig it.It hit just above a nickle on my IDX.Id passed up a thousand of the same signal today??...Intuition?? Anyway, Im very happy.This is one of the best days Ive had in awhile.This park obviously has not been hunted and I havent even scratched the surface, not to mention the accessable areas,including a sports field at the 1929 school.Definitely looking forward to spending some more time at this site.Thanks for looking and H.H.....Joe
