Overlooked the Obvious- BIG Mistake

[sodapoptop]

Just wanted to share this recent revelation. I live in a small town, and we have a Treasure Hunting Club with quite a few members. The oldest park in town is also the location of our "Annual Hunt".... So I naturally thought to avoid it. After all, it has been hunted to DEATH...right?

Well, I spent 3 hours there Saturday and hunted about 1/5 of the "penny" field used in this years hunt.... I walked away with 18 wheat cents, and 5 Indian Heads.... One of which looks like it was not just planted yesterday (it was 5 inches deep) I also found one of the wheats in an area outside of the hunting area...and several of the wheats look like they have been there a number of years..... So, I am not telling anyone else in the club what I discovered..and next weekend I am HITTING THE SILVER FIELD!

I learned my lesson NOT to assume a park is Hunted Out!

Thats right, never assume. Great finds. My friend says his yard has been hunted already but I pulled out some more coins with my ace250

very nice find on all of the IH and wheat's.A lot of people think some places get dug out,yes it gets hard to find to find some items sometimes but the ground condition changes a lot from season to season.The ground shifts item around,the ground gets soaked with rain.And MD is a game of inches,some people goes little to fast ,they don't overlap their swings and sometimes they just might miss that big find by inches.That is what makes MD so much fun.You never know when you are going to get that surprise of a life time.Keep hunting them dug out places you and bringing the great pics.

that is totally awesome! Never assume a place is ever hunted out! You will find at least one keeper or more everytime you go!
