I hit another park today because I got a really late start. I hit the soccer field sidelines once again in the hopes of scoring some jewelry but, no such luck today.
I did manage to find my 2nd. Dollar coin. It's a 2010 Abe Lincoln "Gold" Dollar and frankly, I've never even seen one before. I thought it was a token or a half at first. It's also in way better shape than my 1st dollar coin.
I couldn't find the date at first but I discovered it's on the edge, as well as "E Pluribus Unum".
I also found another token. This one's from the Talamore Golf Club in Southern Pines North Carolina:
The front's a bit beat up but what the heck. It's still another notch for the token count.
I wonder how it made it's way this far North?? Anyone here familiar with this place??
I found a metal flower lookin' thingy with what looks like a three blade propeller on the front:
I dug about 50 pull tabs in the hopes of gold, but this one made me laugh:
Oh the irony!
This place is so trashed with pull tabs yet I dig one that says to "fight litter".
I guess whoever tossed it didn't quite get the message. I actually remember those.
And; last but not least I have the usual pile of clad, two more keys and one small split shot sinker. I actually had a high nickel count today; 8 in all as well as a 1961D penny, which is my birth year. I'm hoping to get a silver quarter and dime for that year eventually.
I also found yet another folding chair carrying bag someone tossed. I needed one more carrying case for my 3rd detector and now I have one. I just love when things I need come my way unexpectedly and at just the right time.
All in all, a pretty good hunt given the location and limited time. The weather was absolutely perfect and everyone I encountered was friendly.
Thanks for looking and HH.
