I really want to find a Half Cent but today I had to settle for a 1952 British West Africa Half Penny. This coin has a hole in the center and I thought it was a large washer. Was just about to throw it into the junk pocket of my pouch when I saw writting. This was the last year this coin was made which is pretty cool and it was something different which is always fun.

I've started hunting a new park at lunchtime. This park has mega liquor bottle caps...both beer and the hard stuff..tough part of town. Last three hunt which totaled around 2 hours and 15 minutes produced 2 silver Roosevelt dimes, 3 Mercury dimes, 1 Indian Head, 1 Buffalo Nickel and a hand full of Wheaties and clad. There is also a larger then normal amount of foreign coins which seems typical in the poor parts of town where alot of immigrants settle.

Other then keeping one eye on my detecting and my other on my surroundings I'm really enjoying this park. I know there is a seated there somewhere just a matter of finding it now.
