I thought things couldn't get better....

Hello Treasurenet!

It was the last day of soul-crushing school and i had one exam left. I didn't study at all, yet i still got an A on it. So i thought that was excellent. I then went to my wheat field (old fairground) and managed to dig up a good deal of clad, a key, and a Canadian nickel. Nice lot of finds, but nothing like diggin a wheat though.

I went to my dad's softball game, at the same park where I found my 1898 half dollar and began MD'ing. I put my DFX on deep silver mode and proceded to check the park over again. I soon found another wheat, right next to one of my old holes. I then found a really nice pistol musketball ( i think). I proceded to go to the other end of the park and i got a weak quarter signal. I plugged the ground and kept on digging. Then i saw the quarter of the edge of the hole. I picked it up and I a Barber Quarter Frantic, i flipped it over to see if i sheared of the other side with my shovel. It was only a minor scratch that does not distract from the true beauty of the coin. iI also picked up a wheaty near by it to round out the day. Remember, A PARK IS NEVER, EVER HUNTED OUT.

That's a keeper in my book!

Great find. Never found one of those puppies.. Keep up your persistence in working that site until you exhaust the silver supply.
One may never know..

GC, you are one of the fortunate people who's found a place with some history..I'd call it a "best kept secret" and those places are very rare to find these days!

Nice job, hope you find more good coins there!
