Picnic grounds gives up silver halves and the usual silver dimes etc.

[daytondigger]

The silver dimes were still coming from this picnic grounds that started out at the turn of the 19th/20th century. I found four mercs in fairly quick order and then another worn Barber quarter(1909). I still couldn't believe that there were no silver halves to be found. More wheats and some silver rosies came to light. The sun was shining and I was determined to keep hunting until I found something significant. I kept saying to myself, let me find a half or a token. Then finally I got a strong signal at 6 inches. I thought it would be a half, but it was one of those large Palmolive tokens for a free cake of soap. There's my token, now where's my half. I stood up from digging the token and said to myself "I want a half even if it's a '64 Kennedy. A few minutes later I flip the sod back and see a beautiful..........1964 Kennedy half. After that, I thought the power of suggestion was paying off. I had to go for a battery/ R&R break. When I came back I added some more silver dimes and then got a nice loud reading at 5 inches. I thought let it be another silver quarter, and it was(1946). Two inches away and the same reading reveals a 1950 quarter, but wait there's more. Searching the hole I spied a nice large silver edge, a sweet 1945 Walker.

Wow!!!

I've been following your posts this week, and you have found a spot anyone on this forum would love to get their coils over. I love the challenge of a pounded park in trying to squeak out a few silvers, but if I could find a spot like yours, I'd be all over it!!

Fantastic Finds!!
I'm wondering what your final tally will be at those picnic grounds.

I got the O.K. to hunt this park last spring, but thanks to my job I was away from it for a couple months. Before this, I found a park that was pounded and was happy that I found a rosie and a war nickel. I can't stand the thought of going back there right now.
