Oldest silver from park yet...

[PlzBSeated]

Went back to the hillside in my favorite park. Only swung ten minutes when I came upon this beauty.



This is the oldest silver I have pulled from the park and it gives me hope that she may still have some to offer.

Nice! That looks like a good place to metal detect. There is probably a lot more good stuff there. How old is the park?

A 1906 barber is also my oldest silver. Congrats on some great finds!

Nice digs and thank you for sharing those pictures

Nice finds and good variety too.

IMO, any time you find Wheaties you're having a good hunt.
The old IH and silver makes it all the better.

Cool digs there!! I still recall the good old days out here when Barbies would turn up at my favorite old park =)

Good dig, bet we know where you'll be spending some time. Show us more oldies when you dig-em.

The park was established circa 1911. It coughs up the occasional IHP, usually early 1900s. But until now I have only found older Merc's there.

Where you find one there are bound to be more. Congrats on your barber dime. And best of luck hunting that park in the future.

I'd work 10 minutes for those 10 cents all day long.
