Boat ramp still spitting up goodies

capt.ken m · Aug 3, 2016

Went back ck to the boat ramp parking area. I've hit this place hard. But it still giving stuff up. First coin was an ihp 1899 kinda beat up. The I got a good signal ,started digging , the first mason jar lid was still on the blue glass. I got excited thinking it may have a coin stash. I pulled the broken jar and lid out. There was still a nice signal in the hole. Then a second lid. The only coin it gave up was the 1919s wheatie. I'll take that. Then some more relics and what looks like an unstamped penny. This is the second one is have found. The first is copper, this one looks like zinc the way it's corroded. Has anyone else found these

? Thanks for looking.

Now you got me thinking and wondering. I went to a park about three weekends ago and notice two boat launch sites there. Definitely will check those out. Probably not your type of luck, but have to try.

The place I'm digging is a vacant lot where a house used to be. It's now a parking area for the city boat ramp. But there has been some kind of dock and ramp for over a hundred years. Since it's grass nobody pays any attention to me digging.
