Yesterday, I had to visit the Employee Business Center to get my Medicare Papers filled out. The weather forecast for yesterday was pleasant. The forecast for today was RAIN. (Almost 3/4 of an inch). I decided to switch my plans and take advantage of the good weather.
I took a train ride to Brooklyn. Three train stops away and a short walk to a park. I have had some decent finds in this park in the past.
No sooner do I start swinging the DEUS, I get stopped by a park employee, and asked to produce my permit. His name was Mike and turned out to be a decent guy. After looking at my permit, he promised not to bother me again.
In my first few minutes, I started hitting deep Wheat Pennies. After Mike finished mowing the main lawn, I moved to it to see if there might be some silver left from yesteryear. My very first coin is a SACA Dollar. Shortly after that, I get a 3 Wheat Penny Coin Spill. I picked away at some clad. With about an hour left before sundown, I decided to check a lawn across from a high school. Sure enough, another 2 Wheat Penny Coin Spill and then a 1941 Silver Washington Quarter. Always nice to come home with silver.
My finds for the hunt included: 16q, 9d, 3n, 16 memorials, 9 Wheat Pennies, (39, 40, 44, 45, 46(3), 51, & 52d), a 1941 Washington Quarter and a 1984 Canadian penny.
You have to take advantage of the good weather when you can.
