I was invited to take a shot at fellow Tnet’er, HighVDI’s magic park along with Tnet’er Metal Headz early Saturday morning. I believe the park was originally a baseball field for a high school in the early 1900’s, then eventually turned into a soccer field, now sort of abandoned, but still mowed! High V has found over a dozen silver coins in this field.
The field is littered with clad, shallow mid tones (nickels, pennies, trash or maybe gold...) every 4 or 5 feet of swinging.
Eventually followed High V’s advice and started only digging deep high tones.
Best find was a 1935 GW. Also found a War Nickel and a couple wheats.
Huge appreciation for the invite from John. He is actually into the YouTube MDing thing lately and has over a dozen videos posted, check him out at Wash-PA-Diggers.
Also made it into the woods to a couple old sites this weekend. Of course, my obligatory handful of spoons, actually my first small iron spoon.
Still searching for my first silver spoon.
Here are the keepers for the weekend.
The matchbox car is a Mighty Maverick from 1969 and are quite valuable if they are in good shape.... and in their original box...
Note sure what the green thing is, but looked like an emerald coming out of the dirt.
Another Rosie brings my silver coin to wheat ratio to 16:35 FTY.
Good luck out there!
