Hit a Park & an Abandoned Army Base

[Cool Hand Fluke]

First place I hunted was a park I've hunted probably 50 times and dug out another silver Roosevelt dime and 8 more wheat pennies. This park is large, I'm always finding something there.

The second place I hunted was an old abandoned army base. This was my 12th visit to this area and had another good day.

I mainly hunted around the abandoned army barracks and don't believe the amount of brass rifle cartridge casings that were everywhere!? The G.I.'s were apparently throwing their brass out in front on the barracks? Everywhere I went I was digging the brass casings...

I still found one item I was looking for today, I dug an army unit crest. I've dug about 8 of these now, most have been from this base. Also dug up 5 rank insignia pins, and 6 wheat pennies.

That is some good hunting, shame to see a place like that base falling into disrepair. Nice saves there, good work.

Congrats on a good hunt.
Quite a few interesting finds.
I'm sure there is some silver to be found down by the PX / COMMISSARY.
Congrats

It's a little hard to see it in the picture, but my guess for the shell with question mark is that it's a blank.

Nice finds. The brass casing will add up to some cash if you save them.

When you said you hunted an abandoned Army base, I thought you were gonna say you found an abandoned Army Sergeant!

Dang, could I ever make a great workshop there!!
