Scarborough Park - Day 4 - 2 Silvers & a Watch!

Hello Friends!

Got back to the park for another 4.5 hours of hunting today! Upon arrival it was snowing, so I decided to wait, as I knew it would stop soon. Sure enough the snow stopped and the sun started to shine. The park was extremely wet following 2 days of rain and snow showers! Most of my holes filled up with water the moment after I dug them! Not to mention kneeling in the water and mud to dig every couple of minutes . . . I was a muddy mess by the end of the day!

My first find was the 1964 Silver Dime, followed by the Navy Button. This is an old button, that I believe is from the French Navy possibly from WWII. Then came the 1957 Silver Quarter, followed by the Coleman Watch! This silver quarter makes my 5th silver coin found at this park in the past 4 days!

The Coleman watch was only 2" below the surface and was still running when I pulled it from the ground. The body of the watch is in great condition, though the face has suffered some deterioration from being in the ground. I'm thinking of having the face restored and then selling it! I think I'll head back again tomorrow for a couple of hours, but this park isn't even close to being covered yet! Total cash found today $ 4.47

Thanks for looking and best of luck to everyone,
Dave

That has been a great park for you Dave ! The silver and other great finds keep coming . . You need to make your way down here to San Jose , California and do some hunting with me ! No snow here just in the low 70's !!!!

Thanks very much Glen! Hey, I like your new avatar, very nice!

I got back to the park today for 2 hours and found a 1962 silver quarter!
This makes six silvers from this site in the last 7 days . . . and I'm not even halfway though the park yet!

Glen, I'd love to get back to to So. Cal. and do some hunting with you! I flew to LA back in February this year. I rented a car and drove to Vegas as I had to work a trade show and had always wanted to see the Mojave Desert! You might remember me posting pics of that.

The same offer extends to you Glen! If you ever want to come up to Toronto, I'd be happy to take you out detecting in the snow and the mud!

Take care buddy,
Dave

PS. Here's a pic of the silver quarter I found today and all the silver coins I've found over the past week.

Thanks for the offer !! I hope some day to go into Canada . Forget LA , I'm in the Bay Area , 50 mile south of San Francisco . We only have 1 million people here is San Jose .
That silver looks great !! Keep it coming
Glen

Sorry about the geographical mix up Glen! I was thinking that Disneyland was in San Jose, when I know it's in Anaheim, north of LA!

Thanks for the words of support buddy . . . found anymore rings lately?

Hey Dave, I googled the watch and found them on-line, but I can't seem to find any advertised prices? This baby is heavy and I'd like to get the face 'touched up' to make it wearable so that I can sell it. The watch band are in great shape and so is the watch body!

You know what I say, "if it's heavy, then it's expensive, so put it down before you break it!"

Best of luck to you bud,
Dave
