Hey all, we've been MDing all over the place since my last post in early July.Went back to that park by the cottage and found an indian (1884), but no silver. We made a couple of silverless returns to Indian park, with the exception of today being the big day of the month at this park. I was working an area in the field next to the woods where plenty of wheats where found a while ago plus a silver rosie. I hadn't found any yet but my dad walks over and shows me a nice 1903 O barber dime. I've been craving a barber for a while now. Anyway, later on, accross the field in a picnic area, I got a nice signal that sounded like a half dollar. It pinpointed at 7.0 inches, so I figured I had either a silver half or some kinda iron hunk (I wasn't real optimistic about a silver half ::)). About 6-7 inches down, I was choppin around when I suddenly saw the edge of a silver quarter. This was a delight since I hadn't found one since early spring. Then I was more delighted to see that I had found my first standing liberty!

Let's see, the 29 merc was found in an area of the metroparks we haven't hunted much. And the other indian (190?) was found the day that I decided to MD instead of go fishing with my dad. (The fishing didn't seem too good lately.) There was a row of bushes, and they chopped out a couple feet of them, and that's where the IH was. I found the 43 merc (our best looking merc) that day also. This is the site that I pulled my first seated and the barber quarter from in the same day last year. Oh, I found the 1945 1/4th wheat penny at the an older school . I don't think it was a mower victim (I looked for the other part). So that's about it. I'm still working on permission for an 1835 home. A friend found a 1830s large cent there in 15 mins. Happy huntin out there. 8)

That's an impressive haul you've got there... great photos. Congrats in the standing liberty. It took me a long time to find my first and only one so far.
 

Great finds there, I have yet to get silver of any kind or any old coin for that matter. Sigh after looking at your finds I just know I got to spend time at the library doing research. anyway good luck on future hunts. Ted
 

Man 1920 standing liberty half dollar!! Good job nate!!!! ;D
 

Nice finds Nate, that SLQ is in awesome condition! HH, Mike
 

Howdy ! When I lived in Marion about 20 + yrs ago, I drove over to Indian Lake and crawled under the boardwalk because I saw large cracks between the boards. Got quite dirty, but had a great time and found lots of old coins, including silver. A nice memory. Congrats on your finds- they just keep adding up ! I was born in New Carlisle- where do you reside ?
 

Those are some nice finds!

Thank you all. Grady, interesting story, did you have to dig much to find the coins? I haven't heard of any of those locations; I'm near Cleveland OH. And I just call the place Indian park cause I found some indian heads there. HH all
 

Those are some nice finds Nate.

Congrats on the quarter. You deserve it. You guys hunt hard and often.

You definetly got the right unit. It's a true monster in the field.

That's a really nice one to for a first.

Those indians are really bad in your area. You almost need to tumble them.
