I got out earlier in the week after work for a few hours and went to a demo sight after I noticed that they had removed the concrete driveways. I scored the '53d and the 47s Rosies and a mystery Merc, also got the cool little toy car. Friday I had to see an eye doctor and after having my eyes dialated I couldn't go back to work so by noon Jim and I were in a small town park where I scored a '56d Rosey, a '07d Barber dime, a '45d war nickel and a '98 V nickel. I was trying for a Buffalo to get a nickel trifecta but it didn't happen. Saturday we were off to a park that we had researched a bit and thought it would be worth a shot. We got there and not even 5 minutes into it I dug my first signal and it was a '41 Merc I also got a '42 and a '25s and a '53d Rosey. I dug a cool old fob that reads "The Range Eternal". I researched it a little and it was a wood cook stove that heated the home also. I found an old ad that I'm posting. Today I got 9 silver at an old park that we went to earlier in the season. At that time I didn't think this place had any potential so I never really thought about going back till this morning. I got there and I remembered why I didn't like it, real difficult ground and a lot of one way signals. After about an hour I was about ready to give up when I hit the hot spot. I dug the '97, '10, and the '15d Barber quarters the '36, '37, and '45 Mercs a '51d Rosey, a sterling ring and pendant. Also got the C&NW button and the American Legion 20th anniversary medallion. I had alot of fun today and topped my old record of 8 silvers in one day. Thanks for looking and HH

Things were built to last back then, that's amazing.
