I decided last week that I was going to go into Halifax to hunt some of the old parks. I figured that there must be some history there still undug. Knowing that Canadian Cossack lived in Halifax I gave him a shout and he offered to join me. My original plan was to hunt the two big parks in Halifax/Dartmouth but CC and I got to talking and he suggested we go to a smaller park with some history which has seen little MD activity. Without going into the history of the park I must say it was quite productive. I got eight older coins in the span of a couple hours. I got three 1916 large cents, two British Half Pennys (1864 and 1918), one 1863 Indian Head Penny ( A tough find for this part of Canada), one 1816 Hardware token, one Victorian silver fishscale 5 cent, a couple buttons, an earing and a musketball.

It was a great hunt and I am sure that there are many more targets in this area. A slow methodical sweep will net more silver. Thanks again CC for taking me there...a morning well spent!
