Scaryarea finds

[jopher]

Went to a small park in a rough area of Flint MI today.I had noticed a couple of old growth trees on it and thought I might have a shot at finding some old coin.I figure most detectorists wouldnt even slow down much less stop at this sight.(Real rough "Hood").I looked for maybe an hour, digging only the deep signals.Escaped with seven wheaties, one war nickle, an old tool check tag, a steel over brass football charm, and a couple pieces of clad.The ground was soft, humus soil and the targets were all in the 8-10" area...barely audible.The wheats dates are 18s, 19, 35, 35, 45, 45, and 48s.The nickle is a 43P.The tool tag could be anywhere from 1919 up.I didnt find any silver today but Im sure its there.Next time I feel a little gutsy Ill go back for it. H.H.....Joe

Try these spots EARLY in the morning like 5 to 6am. They are usually pretty quiet at that time.

Watch out for crack needles.

Nice finds. I haven't spent any time in Flint, except for flying in and out of Bishop International 3 or 4 times, but do know that Flint has really fallen on hard times. It's a crying shame how badly Michigan's economy has hurt so many people.
Good luck and happy hunting,
Bob

Congrats on the finds.

P.S. that particular Year and mint,
Produced a Doubled "Eye" Error.


Worth at least $20.00 in fine condition.

Don't know If you can Safely remove that crap

into it. (No pun intended )

Glad you escaped the hood without incident. But if the crack babies approach you, must tell them your CSI and your looking for bullets from the car jacking that occurred there last night. Then go into the "were you here? do you know the victim or perp? They'll move on quickly.

j,

nice finds, good job, watch your back.

have a good un...........

 

[jopher]

O.K....There was a little silver in there, but no luck on the doubled eye or a 3 over 2.

Hobob...The face of the once flourishing city definitely reflects its economic hardships and things only appear to be getting worse.Its gonna take alot of miracles to bring Michigan and this country around again.

Nice finds!! Id make sure to carry a weapon in a tough area like that..

 

[Moonshadow]

at Charlene!!! That's really a good idea!! Hadn't thought of that. I've got several places I could hunt, but in those creepy neighborhoods. I'm just a skinny female, and I get creeped out pretty quickly.

Way to go on your finds man.......great job!

Happy Hunting!
