two hunts worth

[McCDig]

Thursday I headed to a Baltimore Co. park to explore an area bounded by RR tracks, highway and stream. Looks like it's better for winter when overgrowth is down, so I contented myself with checking out the farm dump and coin-shooting the bleacher area of the ball field. In late morning I headed down to the city and had a decent afternoon, finding a wheat, shield nickel, buffalo nickel, two marbles and a merc there. With the nickel from the county park I made a trifecta. Pretty dry here around Baltimore...need some rain to help the grass and help the signals.

If it is in Baltimore, I know you will sniff it out. Congrats on the tri-fecta and I do love those Mercurys.

Very nice finds! Get back there soon, there's more hiding!

Had the same tough digging in Baltimore County.

Dry as a bone. Almost like concrete in some places.

Nice job on the Nickle trifecta McCdig. Those are some nice finds.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Tommy! I was wearing down out there and got revived with seeing silver.

Thanks vpnavy! That '15 thingy' is the back of a fuse to a Westinghouse Stratford sewing machine from the 1920s.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Art! It was good to get out.

Thanks ATW! I'm amazed at the silver that keeps turning up in this old park. Years ago I pretty much gave up on this park and wrote it off as too trashy.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks SD51! The merc and shield from the space around and old oak tree where there are many trash signals.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks OWK! That's what I've liked about hunting in the woods of late. Grounds not quite as dry and there's no grass to kill.

 

[scruggs]

Great variety you found even some marbles!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Trezurehunter! Had I not set my Fisher to 3H tones, I know I'd be leaving nickels behind.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks scruggs! Yep, each marble was in a nothin' hole. Think my pinpointer batteries were weak, so I don't know if I left something behind, but there were the marbles, each in a different hole!

Ya don't see shield nickels too much, great job!

 

[jbwish]

Just curious, why are the merc's gold in color?

 

[McCDig]

Hi jbwish, that color of the merc is not as it appears. The way I limit the lighting when I photograph silver causes the camera to give it that hue.
