I have been getting out for some short hunts in the evenings and weekends, when the weather has cooperated. I have been hitting another park lately, different from the past posts. It has been great. The finds aren't many, but if you do find something, chances are it will be old.
The Seated Half I found was a total surprise. I went out for a short hunt one evening and after about 30 minutes I had a faint signal. Once I get a faint signal, I start going around the target area trying to find the strongest signal so I have the most accurate location. I'm not sure how many times around I went, but I figured I'd better quit and dig before I started getting dizzy.
I dug the plug and then removed some more dirt. Even the pinpointer wasn't getting much of a signal. I dug a couple more times and rechecked the hole. NOTHING! I thought no way. I looked over at the pile of dirt and seen something large there. I wasn't sure yet what it was. When I picked it up and seen it was a Seated Half, I just sat there in total shock. What a surprise.
The Barber dimes and two of the Indians have also came from this park. The Merc and other Indian came from the previous park I have been hunting. Thanks for reading and everyone have a Happy Easter.
