An Indian at the Alsmhouse

Yes, there was an Indian at the alsmhouse, until I dug him from the ground!


I got out this afternoon for a short hunt at County Home Park in Cockeysville, MD. It had been just shy of nine months since I last hunted there. Since I had little time, I just played my hunches by working the large trees on the property, but mostly found one clad coin after another with the exception being a modern 45 cal. bullet. I made my way back to the truck and checked my phone for the time, 4:20 and I had to pick up soup and milk on the way home for Easter dinner with the family. Pretty much just had about 25 minutes more to spend before hitting the road. I worked my way over to a gnarly-looking tree and searched it's east facing side. It was there that I dug my last target of the day, what I was hoping to find, an Indian Head cent. Looks like I'll be making as repeat visit before too long.

Nice Indian!

That park has a LOT of good features! Including the aspect that it's constantly being refreshed. I can always count on a few surprises there. One of my best V nickels came from the slope coming down from the main road to the house. Nice area to enjoy a walk!

WTG!
