some luck today at an older local park

[hollowpointred]

got out today with cntrydncr1,Skierbob and a new Friend Les to a local park in an older section of town. this neighborhood is kinda on the scary side but it was cold out today and i think that kept a lot of the mutants locked indoors (luckily for us). i found one of the most worn Barber Dimes i have ever seen. no date on this one. Bob commented that it must have been lost in 1950 and i think he is right! i also found an 1846 Large Cent which has the typical Corrosion that this Delaware soil dishes out on copper coins. the reverse is actually not that bad but the obverse is another story. i am so jealous of you guys that live in areas of the country where the soil preserves copper coins so well. i have dug 13 Large Cents and all of them are badly corroded. oh well.....they are still fun to find. anyway here are the pics of the coins. looks like its going to get super cold the rest of this week so this may have been the last hunt of 2008.

You did better than I did, Keith. I only found 3 wheaties and some clad. Les seems to think there's more silver there, but I don't know. We may have to try that park again some time.
