return to local park I dug for a month last year

[port ewen ace]

last year I ate this elephant one bite at a time--- over $200 in clad, 2 silver qtrs., a buff, 2 Mercs., 8 Sterling rings and charms, a grim reaper biker ring-- then walked away thinking I got it all. back again last week and tried my new attack with the Ace, short slow swings at mid sens., count the hits then hover each target to sort the good stuff. there are average 3 pennies per square foot that I don't dig, but amazing how many nics, dimes & qtrs. try to hide under a penny. sadly the earring is marked GF on the pin. invited FMERG to join yesterday and he gets $8 in clad + a nice Sterling ring. I am leaving most of the pennies for future diggers ( about 10,000 of them). a good guess is there is still another C NOTE in clad yet to dig + more jewelry and even some silver, so back again today. one last note to the guy who left a pulltab in a dug hole, get a pouch to put the trash in-- then take it to a garbage barrel when you leave!!!!. when the toddlers ask what I am doing, I tell them people plant pennies in the fall and they grow into nickels, dimes, and quarters over the winter. I am just harvesting the crop.

kneepad on right knee, drop to the same and dig, use the Ace to hoist my sad self to upright--- then repeat as needed

Say hi to my friend fmerg--I haven't hunted with him in a while now, but very nice guy! Glad to see he's still detecting and making great finds.
