Best Silver Hunt!

[gibsondan]

Today I traveled to a big park located in the center of a city. I figured the park had to be as old as the city. When I got there the first thing I noticed was big, old trees with exposed gnarly roots. That usually means it's original ground. My first find was a Wheat cent. It was a good sign. Soon I began finding silver and other goodies. I ended up with 8 Mercury dimes, 12 Wheat cents, two tokens, newer coins and the usual garbage. November winds were blowing and it was chilly. But isn't it amazing how you don't notice the cold when you're digging silver?

Here's a video I made of the hunt:

Here are some pics:

Great spot you found, the research sure paid off

With all the mercs you found, it's kind of amazing no barber or rosie dimes came out, or other silver coins

Congrats, keep pounding that spot, maybe the oldies are deeeeep

Thanks for the comments! I've been back there a few times. Found a total of 5 more Mercs, a bunch of Wheats and, just today, an 1882 Indian Head penny.
