Silver at the old school and the hunted out park is still producing

[davew0710]

Got a call from my buddy Bob yesterday. He just got permission to hunt an old school building in a small town about 30 miles from us. It turns out the school wasn't as old as we originally thought, The town is very old but the school only dates back to the 40's, but we still got some goodies. Bob got one merc and I got 2 of them. My first was an 1918 s pretty worn out but still nice to have. The second was a 1940 in pretty good shape. There were a lot of wheaties too. But it turns out another fellow hunted this school years ago.
On Saturday, I went to the oldest and probably most hunted park in town. I decided not to hunt the shelters like everyone else, so I took a good look around. I found a row of trees away from the shelters that had to be well over a hundred years old. I figured this would be a good area to hunt. I only got a couple of hours in, but got a 1906 Indian head! I forgot to bring it to work for a picture. Didn't even know for sure what is was till I got home and cleaned it up. There is a fair amount of trash in the area, but I think I will be heading back there again.

Love finding mercs and good job on hunting the less obviuos spots at parks. Outlying areas and unlikely looking areas are where I make most of my old finds at hard hit areas.
