Fisher F75
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Tried a hillside area on the southeast corner of this Baltimore city park and came up empty except for one wheat. I tried a few other spots looking for some "old" dirt and eventually ended up back at the walkway. This is when the detecting got a bit more interesting. First good target was a tombac button. Next I came upon a two wheat find; the two coins fell on the ground "face-to-face" and remained thus for about 80 years, a 1919 and 1935; there was another target in that hole and it turned out to be another wheat, 1936. Along the way, I uncovered another marble, so I'm on a several hunt "marble streak". The hunt ended with another true "edge of walkway" keeper, a shield nickel, which has an excellent obverse of no rays, but the reverse is poorer, leaving the date unreadable.

Thanks Chizzy! Agreed, it's like gong back to the well. Sometimes it's just a trickle but I'm still getting' some of those thirst quenching drops.

You are the man McCDig, I bet you could walk up on a majority of the permissions that I have pounded and you'd pull out an amazing old coin.
