Two Liberty's. . . a bit under the weather

Before the 6" snowfall we got here today, I managed to get in my first
few hunts of the season at a county park that's had activity since the 1870's.

I've HEARD that this area has given up HUNDREDS of Seated's and Barber's
of all denominations ::)

but the only stuff I found during my first hunt was a
Hot Wheels motorcycle from the late 90's, a Scout Neck-tie, and a Sterling
silver & Amethyst earring (that I eye-balled near a picnic bench while
dragging my detector to the car in shame).

Yesterday, I had a different plan. . . :wink:

I decided that I would get away from the mainstream grass areas that were
a continuous maze of aluminum pop-tabs and would focus my hunt in the
heavily-wooded areas of the park that would be extremely difficult to detect
during the late spring and summer months. I was amazed at how quiet my
detector was. . . no modern pop-tops or bottle caps. . . just the old stuff. . .
including two Liberty's found in the same hole, that looked a bit under the weather :P

Thanks for looking & HH!

Nice. I guess you never know what you'll find.

I figure if the place has been in use for a hundred thirty years it must have gone through a lot of changes. The woods were once the knolls and the paths were once woods etc.
I have been trying to look at the lay of the land over what it looks like now. If you look with the right eye you can almost imagine that todays woods were yesteryears lawns and such where folks picnicked or camped or played around.

Great job finding that loot!
