Hello again Everyone,
I decided to hit the old Barrio park again yesterday with Jon(goldenapples), Mike(ratman), and Curt(Bibleman). It was a fun day. I thought the park was going to be much more crowded because of Veteran's day, but it was just as empty as an ordinary weekday.
I got off to a slow start, getting just a '17 merc and about 14 wheaties by midday. After lunch, we moved to a different area and that's when I got 3 more silvers, including an '07 barber dime, '42 merc, and '64 Rosie; the Rosie was my first from this park after pulling some 15 silver from the turf there. The 1901 V nickel was a surprise. I got a deep wheatie/silver tone, and was surprised to see the nickel sandwiched between two '29 wheaties. I ended the day with 38 wheaties, including another really bad '09.
Lastly, an interesting find turned out to be the large aluminum token that's seen much better days. All I could see on it was "L B. De Mille". After researching, I identified it as a 1939 Lucky Piece for Cecil B. DeMille's movie "Union Pacific".
It was a fun and long hunting day. I feel it today after digging lots of deep plugs as usual.
Thanks for looking, and good hunting to all.
