Today's finds at small park
I was off work today so I got up early and headed for a small tot lot that has produced a lot of clad and a nice knife in the past. This place is old and I know there has to be some silver there. It is smaller than half a block in size but loaded with a lot of clad that I have found so far. I would say no one has hunted it before due to the amount I have been finding there lately. The first place I hunted was in the wood chips and right away I got a good signal. Just under the chips was a really nice Zippo lighter. Not old but very nice just the same. I was looking mainly for jewelry and found something silver. I think it is junk. Then I went back to area around the basketball goal where I have been finding a lot of coins. In all I found 8 pennies, 2 nickels, 2 dimes and 4 quarters. One quarter almost made the silver list but it was 1965. So close. Just then the county workers showed up in force to mow and weed eat the area. It was so noisy I decided to leave and come back another day. I then went to another park nearby that was near a Civil War skirmish that has been hunted to death but I thought I might pull out an old coin or something. I was kneeled down checking a signal when pickup pulled up and the guy hollered " Do I get half? " I turned my machine off and went over to talk to him. We had a very nice visit and then he started telling me about a hill south of there that he has found a lot of buckles in the past several years. Said the Confederates used the hill for artillery. He was giving me directions and after about the sixth turn he lost me. He did give me enough to google the area. Looks like a road trip.
