I moved out to Ohio about a year and a half ago due to life happening and will be here at least another year before heading back to New Mexico. The area I live in has been around for a while and was a huge town back in the early 1900s. They had streetcars on all the main roads and a really old tennis court and baseball area (which unfortunately has become a paved grocery store parking lot). I went out to a local park that was built in 1907. I first detected the park when I got to ohio and found a 1944 Walker. Since the weather is finally breaking I went out on the first day and started gridding areas I missed. As I got around the dirt that surrounds the kiddie playground I get a high tone and I'm thinking it's junk. Dug it up and out pops the 1942 Walker. Smiled and thanked God for that one.
The following day I hit another park that I found and it was a lot smaller. Found 2 quarters and lots of dog poop that the owners left from their puppies lol. Decided to go back to the park that I found the second walker at and started from the other side. This kind of blew my mind but I was by the basketball court and I was the only one there. I saw something that was on the aluminum bench on the court. It looked like and crumbled up gum wrapper that was from Wrigley's that is silver in color. I thought for a second and figured I better go see what it was and it turned out to be a sterling silver ring. Didn't even need the metal detector on that one. Some days like that just shaking my head in wonder.
