Hello everyone,

I have been showcasing my "one hour in a park" threads, mostly on thursdays, after work, when "the man" lets me go detect :)

To my horror today, I peered out my window to see SNOW! Horrible, horrible snow:( My heart sank. I thought it may all be over till spring... Then I checked The Weather Channel...

This Detecting session was thanks to The Weather Channel, I found out that the weather today was warming up a bit, and was above freezing. I headed out at about 11 or 11:30. I hit the park that I found the 14k band and the Sterling earring. I thanked the park for the recent finds, and asked that I find some more gold or silver (it always helps to be polite:)

I found a LOT of cool stuff, from a Cinderella pin/button, a dog license, 2 cool tokens, one with a sneaky jester, and a car wash token. It was getting late, and I was getting HUNGRY, so I decided on 2 more holes, and that was it (give or take about 5 holes, we have ALL been there before) I ended up pulling out ANOTHER heart pendant, the last run I had in this same park, I had 2. I saw the sparkley gems and thought, "oh come on, can this possibly be silver?" I turned it over, and wiped off a spot, and immediately saw the " 925, I just went nuts! I literally said "NO WAY" out loud. I thanked the park for the latest find, and then checked a couple more holes. After that, I decided to head home for the day. I had some more things to do, and I knew the forecast called for even warmer temps on Sun. So...It was another great day, and I have offically named this as my favorite new park, it has yielded me a gold bracelet, a silver earring, and a silver pendant, along with lots of other fun stuff. Who'd of thought I would be detecting on December 17th!!!!! I am happy.

The coin totals are as follows:
(2) Tokens
(2) Dimes
(2) Nickels
(18) Pennies

Thanks for looking everyone! Have a great night!

Nice silver! I love silver jewelry. I'm proud to say that my wife wears one of my silver finds (with my son's birthstone, if you can believe that!).
 
Great hunt!!!! It's better, when it first was only a possible. Then, it turned into a "for sure."
And, silver is silver is........some of the good stuff. (Where I hunt, I find silver about once a year, if that. So,
seeing that nice light-colored stuff, clean stuff come out of the ground....it is a rush.)
I went out yesterday, and found one coin...a Japanese coin dating 1923. But, looks like it might be a nice UNC coin.
Ground was supposed to be frozen, but the site I worked was on a hillside facing the afternoon sun.....only way.
Hope you get some more hunts in this year.....
 
Nice little hunt... In snow, that is dedication! Congrats :icon_thumright:
