went to the park behind the house

antlr-king · Jan 20, 2010

i live where there is this huge park behind my house. it has 2 swimming ponds, 4 volley ball areas, a large play ground, a large disk golf area, a horse arrena, many picnic tables and grilling areas. they also bring the vietnam wall here every year which many people attend and have many events at the park. i have hunted it only 3 times this week since i just got my detector for christmas. got alot of coins and found a 1946 quarter today. it must be silver. it was about 4 inches down and when i dug it up it was very shinney. not like the other quarters i found they were black and hard to clean. also found half of a tag for the vietnam wall event. wish who ever threw it away wouldnt have bent it in half. also wish i didnt have to dig soooo many pull tabs and junk what a pain. anyway so far this year in coins ive found
1955 wheat penny, 1946 quarter
21 quarters
13 dimes
90 pennies
3 nickles

Nice job, is that your first silver ?

Wow, awesome hunt, man! What an awesome location you have! Are you taking the Cobra into the water, or are you just working the grassy land with it mostly?

antlr-king · Jan 20, 2010

yes that was my first silver...i havent gotten out into the water yet. I still need to pick up a good scoop. the swimming ponds are drying up and what ever fish are in there are dying. I did search the beaches but didnt get 1 hit so ive just been going through the grass and around the picnic tables. i tried over at the horse area this morning but found only lead from bullets. there used to be a gun range at this park back in the mid 70's but development made then close it. i guess they used some of the dirt from there as fill dirt around the park. i found spent bullets in a few spots.

First of all welcome to t net Nice to have that spot so close to home . I am sure you have not even scratched the surface of what you will find there. If you are digging pull tabs, those rings will follow so nice to see another silver saved from despair. wtg ROB :coffee2:

Get a scoop and get in that water!!!!

Nice finds so far!

antlr-king · Jan 22, 2010

yea a guy showed me how to dig the grass by making a V cut, lift it up, use my pin pointer to find the target, then put it right back. it works like a charm. other than a little dirt out on the ground you can hardly tell i dug a hole. i know right...about the scoop. i want one so bad. but the ones i've looked at are over 100 bucks. my business is suffering from this economy so right now I cant splurge on one. hopefully things will pick up soon. i want to get in that water.
