From the woods and tot lots
A short hunt after work took me to Reisterstown, MD for a first-time at one of Baltimore County's parks there. I jumped into a wooded section, poked around for awhile and had some success. I detected around a fallen tree because the base was exposed. Out came a heavy fork that was black and brown. From the picture you see it has a heavy silver-plating and cleaned up beautifully. Research has it that this was made for the restaurant industry, more durable than that for home use, as silver-plate goes. About six feet away I uncovered what turned out to be a Max Factor lipstick case. I don't have a date on this, but I would place it in the 1940s. Having my fill of the woods and wanting to try other parts of the park, I headed for the tot lots, of which there are at least four and found lots of clad, even clad from previous years that was beneath the new mulch layer 6-9 inches. Lastly I checked out a grassy area adjacent to the tot lots and found it to hold many good signals and not much trash. I plan to return, as this park should have some items from the 1800s.
Thanks to all for viewing.
Happy Hunting!

I love a hunt with lots of targets. Of course we all want the old coins, but I am happy with a fist full of clad to add to the years totals.
