Park in San Francisco being Ripped Up! ...Silver Found!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

A small park in the Sunset District in San Francisco is having some of its dirt moved around. Arrived around 12 noon and saw 3 other guys hunting there, all with Minelabs. Did OK, got a 1920-S merc, 64 silver quarter, 49-P silver rosie dime, 5 wheaties, and 2 silver rings. Total clad was a little over $ 9.00. Lots of trees and bushes being ripped out, lawn scraped off for new sidewalks. I'll have to keep an eye on this park. I believe more dirt is going to be moved and more trees taken out. May get really good!

Mike,

I've been reading your posts for some time, as I live in San Francisco and I see that you hunt here often.
Nice finds today!

On Monday I will receive my very first detector, a Minelab Explorer (new).
I would love to hook up for a hunt some time since you come here often. Also, I'd be happy to give you a heads up when I see construction kicking up the pavement.

We both just missed the mother lode. About three weeks ago, they tore up part of the street (about 5 feet wide by 80 feet long and the entire sidewalk) at California & Van Ness, which is the current California Street Cable Car turn-around. Back in the old days, the cable car went further west, but it was always a major intersection and unpaved back in the day.

They are doing a ton of construction on the streets in SF right now. Shoot me an email off-line and lets get acquainted. California Street is getting torn up right now, and it was one of the major streets back in the day.

Good luck hunting!

Regards,
ML
