Away I went today to try my luck at another city park that's treated me very nice over the years with lots of silver, large cents, seated coins, and relics! Today was such a nice day, and I wasn't going to waste it, so I decided to go visit this park yet again to try my luck.....

Because of the frisbee golf course located here, you can rarely hunt the open areas in this park, so the wooded areas are the only places you can detect anymore! No Problem, because the woods is where I've found most of the goodies.....

After about two hours of hiking and detecting with only a shotgun shell to show for it, I Finally started finding something.... I found a horse shoe, a buffalo nickel, some new clad, and then this...... TOO COOL!!

Nice find. Funny how when you hit shotgun shells and horse shoes you just know it has not been hunted hard and the next target could be one like yours. Congrats!
