Today my wife and I had a full day of work on the lawn,We sat and watched the local weather they said it was going to be nice today,with rain and snow the rest of the week.I looked at her and asked( wanna go swingin) She said lets go! So we blew off the yard work.

Over the winter I did some research on the net,gathered up some old maps.marked some interesting sites,Then started asking a few questions to a few locals in the area of the prospected site,Come to find out thier used to be a park back in the woods across the creek,No clear map of the exact spot,so today we were ready to find the park site.

My wife and I arrived at the site at 10:30 am. She grabbed her XLT and I grabbed my M6 MATRIX,and headed down a old cattle path across the creek We searched for two hours.We meet on the back side of a cleared area,sat down and looked at the the area from the other end.We started back to were we came from.I just rentered the woods and bang a solid 18-20 at 2 inches,out pops a 1912 V nickel,Instantly I thought could this be the park site,Within 5 minutes,I hear a woo-hoo from my wife Tammy along the edge of the creek,she said I have Silver!!! It was a SEATED 1875 Quarter,I almost fell over We high fived eachother and got serious,Lets just say thier was alot of woo-hoos today,Our totals are 1875 seated quarter ,1888 v nickel ,1897 barber dime ,1892 indian , 2- 1899 indians , 2- 1900indians,2- 1901 barber dimes ,1907 indian,and a 1912 v nickel and a gold pin,a silver pin and a gold plated pin What a day woo- hoo! KEEP SWINGIN

I like DS Bob's idea of hiring a goat for the yard, or better yet, pull the grass out, detect the underlying dirt, and then just dump a bunch of those decorative landscaping rocks there. The time saved from mowing, watering, and tending to the lawn could be used finding more seated quarters!

Awesome!

I would love to find those pins..... :icon_scratch: and coins ???

Keep @ it and HH!!
 

y'all are my kinda swingers!
 

Yoiu guys sure did great. Lots of good time with the one you love. Hope to see more great finds coming from this place from both of you.....Matt
 

That spot sounds awesome!!!!! Congratulations! Keep on hunting! :) Love all the silver coins and old indian head pennies! ;D

That spot sounds very exciting!!! I know of an old picnic grounds that my dad said was old when he was little and he was born in 1923. It is still a virgin site and grown over, so he will have to help me find it next time I make it home. HH!!
