Had an hour or 2 to kill at pounded to death ghetto park. Hunted a spot that has been beat to death by Explorers... not by choice, only because the grass was just cut and that was the only spot in the park that wasn't 2 feet deep in grass. I was hoping for a stray indian or maybe a silver dime in the trash, but was shocked at all the signals I got!!! they were all inbetween zillions of pulltabs and iron and most of these targets came out of the hole with a trash items. The ground conditions were perfect which was why I got so many good signals to dig.

1901O, 1910, 1914 Barber Dimes... 1917D Merc... 1964D Roosy - barely legal :wink:... 1906 V Nickel... 1890, (2)1899, 1902 Indians... Transit Token... couple of buttons... and not pictured - 10 wheaties. Quite an impressive haul for a spare hour to hunt around here! HH, Mike.

Mike the vacuum man cleans up again. WTG MM!! I am sure the ground conditions had a little bit to do with the unexpected finds, but somehow I think you had much more to do with it. :thumbsup:

Nice bunch of oldies Mike. It's amazing how the old silver is still hidin' in the junk after all these years.
 
really nice haul...I think I would be cutting the grass there for them.
 
How were you able to pull a V amongst zillions of pulltabs? You're a magician!

That's what I call "Getting The Job Done"!!

Congrats, Mike!

Hey, great finds! I'm hunting a park now that has tons of trash tones too, although I'm not finding much, although I am ignoring most of the trash tones, I wonder....

I hunt in iron mask -12 which is nearly all metals and the constant tone of the barrage of pulltab hits makes you "tone deaf" to them after a while and the lower hit of nickels come thru to my brain just as good as the high hit of copper and silver. I found a couple old jeff nickels too, didnt put them in pic. Hunting that way is not for the faint of heart or the impatient people! :D Take care, Mike.
 
Thanks, Mike, for the info. Somehow in my mind, I was thinking about a zillion beaver tails. Those guys are very tough to decipher between nickels. Pull tabs are much easier.
