Old park finds

treasurehound · Sep 27, 2009

I got to get out a little today after some very heavy rains flooded our area. Several places I wanted to go to was too muddy to do any type of hunting. Many still had standing water. So I get out the county map where I was at and started to look for parks. I found a very old city park in a small town that was surrounded by victorian style homes and an old rock wall around most of it. The old swings and merry go rounds were again too muddy to get close so I started to hunt around the very large trees. After finding a few pennies I decided to walk along the sidewalk along the rock wall which was about waist high. I laid the coil almost flat to reach the nearly 45 degree angle slope above the wall. I got a good solid 14 VDI and thought it would be a gold ring. Turns out it was an earring with stones. Also found a penny (I think) that has a heavy green coat on it. I think it is a penny but can not make out any details. It was about 6 to 8" deep. I then got a call that wife wanted me home to pick up some furniture. I will be going back to hunt this park again when I have more time and bring along some friends to help hunt it.
