Hello all,
I got up early (8am) drove my dad to work. Was going to hunt the honey hole that Prolab69 took me to all day long and get lots of silver. Started out with a dime hit then a quarter (1967) and about 5 min in I got a nice VDI of 83-84 back and forth. I figured definitely silver...
I start digging and out of the corner of my eye I see a car park. I look up and see what looks to be a State Trooper walking my way. He gets closer as I dig my hole, searching desperately for the hit. I look up again and he is almost right on top of me. I try and pinpoint the signal fast, the man is getting closer faster. He's less than 5 feet away my heart is pounding. He walks up to me and says 8) you know you need a permit for that? I pull the target and tightly palm it. I notice he is not a Trooper but a man in a suit. He explains how I need to get a permit as I look at my find a little, I agree and leave.
I get back to my car and take a closer look at the find. It is a sterling silver Saint Christopher pendent!!
Keep in mind both Prolab69 and I had no idea if we are allowed to hunt there or not. This explains why it was such a Honey Hole. Digging is only allowed with a permit in the sandy beach areas...
I could not think where to go next so I drove 30 min back home. I get home and call Prolab69 and tell him the story we meet up and go to another park. 30 min back to town... This time a public park... Prolab69 beats me there and Hunts some of the front of the park. He tells me he found lots of clad. We move to the back of the park and find some trash. Later we chose to hunt an area kinda off to the side in the middle of the back of the park. We hunt a little with some skunk finds...You know 1968 clad. I dig some more and find a wheat.
As everyone should know you need to search an area well once you find a wheat.... Don't just assume that its the only coin in a 10 foot radius and leave. :P Search slow and careful, my next hit was a 1943 Merc !! A little later after some more skunks I find a 1924 Merc with some bad toning. We dig some more skunks and soon leave.
Here are some pictures, I hope you all enjoyed!!
