Hunted a Lodge/Hotel about to be demolished

[TexasTrash]

Had a blast at this site. Even though the temps were in the 30's and it was misting/sprinkling the whole time I was there, it was still a great time.The very first thing I dug was a 1957 wheatie so I was excited right off the bat. but I didn't find the silver till I was about to leave. Found my 1st silver, a dime, about 4 in down. Even though I dug a plug and as soon as I turned it over it was looking at me, the dang thing was nicked right on the date mark. I don't think I did it cuz I dug a large plug and it was very sandy so I just basically moved the plug right over. Oh wel, It's a '46.

Also found my 1st token. A parking shoppers token that according to a database link in the token forum it is from California.

Used to come here as a kid with my family and had many great times at this place. I really kinda hate to see 'em tear it down. It was built in 1951 and the inside of the old lodge just had that classic 60's stle to it that was just really cool to me.

Anyway had an awesome day, found some cool stuff, some clad, and had a great time swinging the ACE 250.
