Sunday At The Park

[River Rat]

Since I have the mayor's permission to hunt the public areas of a town, I was undecided where to start hunting first. I drove over to the Kiwanis Park, I was finding clad all over the front of the building, wandering towards the back side to the baseball field; a baseball practice was going on so I headed in the other direction. This is the area where the swimming pool was located and had been filled in and turned into a butterfly garden. Near the sidewalk I found the praying hands charm and the beads. Near one of the large oak trees I found my 1st key. It was threatening to rain and the mosquitoes were having a tasty meal on me, so I called it quits at that location. Drove over to check on the church, that I have been keeping tabs on; looks like some renovation going on. No information, but I did find it on the Sanborn 1908 map. It was already sprinkling so I snapped a pic and then at the house across the street. I had a good outing even if I didn't find anything worthwhile. My clad paid for my soft drink.

RR from the pictures and your story I'd say you had a great fun filled day! I would sure like to get a chance to hunt that old house. Should be some interesting things in the ground there.
Happy Hunting and let us all know how your hunts turn out

That is one cool looking house to hunt. Hope you get to add more silver to your collection from that place.

Hi River Rat,

Nice pile of change.
The Victorian house is my fave, not just to hunt (it should have some good old stuff in it), I would love to live in one

Take care,

TW

Nice finds and cool looking places to hunt!!!
Making me hungry though, any chance I can get about 4 dozen of those crawdads and some butter

Would you just look at those sites to hunt! Forget hunting at the water when I make my way down there!

Thanks for the great pictures, RR and congrats on those finds!

Some great sites there!
I've always loved the Victorian homes.
Is the praying hands silver?
Looks like the mayor gets your vote, eh?
Good luck + HH
