Detecting old Amusement Park

[BrandonR]

Another forum member and I went out to state park lands today near me to where there used to be an amusement park that flooded in 1955. Found an old knife which I have soaking now, two pennies, unknown coin shaped object, a bunch of garbage not worth showing and my first ever silver a 1944 Quarter!!!!! I am super excited and will be going back very soon.

Cool finds! Take your time an work that area slowly, you never know what goodies await your coil.

Congrats on your first silver coin. Most of us start with a dime, however, I see that you went a bit larger.

Well played sir!

Congrats on your first quarter

WTG. Are you talking about the flood of 1955 in CT?

Saweeeeeet! I was a silver dime for the first silver coin as well. I would love to work an amusement park area. There's one in my sites as I sit here at work that I know for sure would be sooooooo good. Lakeside Amusement park. Let me in that water!
Thanks for sharing and maybe you can get some gold on the next trip...GOOD LUCK!

Congratz! That's a great way to start your silver coin digging!

 

[Gold Maven]

Great finds!

do you think much silt was deposited in the flood, and high waters since?

you might have to think which areas didn't get silted as much, good luck!

Congrats on the nice old Silver Washington. Sounds like a cool site. I'll bet you're really hooked now.

I actually have a once flooded amusement park site not too far away but the neighborhood is so bad it's probably not worth the risk. There are shootings fairly regularly.
