Local park get-together.

I met Hollowpointred and his brother this morning at a park near me to do some MD'ing. Keith has wanted to hunt the place for a long time. It was the site of an old Salvation Army summer camp a long time ago. Today it's a bunch of softball fields, some rolling pic-nic grounds and a little bit of woods. Most of the grounds have been turned over. Nevertheless, as I told Keith, there have been a few old silver pieces, wheaties and Indian Heads come out of there in the past.

After a couple hours, Keith and his brother each had a couple wheaties and some clad and memorials. Keith found a neat little Liberty Bell replica. I had nothing. I was afraid I was gonna get shunked. Finally, I discovered a gully area behind 2 big trees. It looked like a spot where lovers had been parking over the years. There I finally found some coins and other things. Only one wheatie though, a 1952. I even found one of Keith's namesakes, a hollow point bullet.

Anyway, here's my finds for the morning. Maybe Keith can show his and his brother's.

Looks like a good hunt. Congrats. I think that "Custom" may be off an old Chevy truck? I see you found a fork. I got two spoons this w/end.

Have a great week.

Great finds my brother found a 2 cent piece this morning with a Minelab SE , he just got it this spring, he really likes it and it's quite a step up from the Bounty Hunter he had, at first he didn't know if he was going to like it but I told him it's gonna take some gettin use to and he loves it now. I've listened to his and they sure have their own sound.

looks like you really turned it on after we left bob!

Eric's Wheatie turned out to be a 1910 and my liberty bell has the dates 1776-1876 on it, so i am wondering if its a souvenir of the centennial celebration in Philly. I'm not so sure though. i didn't think that park dated that far back. i would post a Picture except i don't have a camera, and non flat items don't scan very well. :'(
