park

I was able to hit one park and two schools this weekend with the Ace 250, and I managed to find about $16 total in clad. No silver, no old coins, and no good jewelry. Coin totals included 45 Q, 46 D, 7 N and 17 P. Also found one junker ring and a Canadian penny. The nickel count is high for me...

Good day all! I'm planning my first outing (aside from my own yard). I'm planning to work a local, public park with baseball and soccer fields, along with a shelter or two. I'm going to set my sensitivity to low since I'm new to the hobby. Any ideas where I should start would be welcome and...

Today I found my 5th piece of silver since starting detecting last December. I have mostly been hitting parks which at times can be fruitless, but am trying to learn ways of squeezing more juice from the turnips they are. I went out today to a park in Indy which I am sure has been detected many...

I am about to give up hunting the park where I pulled my first silver coin (quarter at 6 inches). Yesterday in about 3.5 hrs all I found was 98 cents in clad. One was a 1964 nickel, and two quarters were 70's (3-4 inches). I am thinking either the park has been pounded and there is too much...

Thanks everyone who has contributed their knowledge here. It has help me pull this quarter from about 5-6 inches in an old pounded park in Indy this morning. It gave me a clear 38 on the Minelab Quattro as I was griding a section of a field. The only other not trash finds were these two crusty...

Well, I was out visiting my in-laws in NJ and decided to nail a park near their house that I frequent in the early morning before anyone gets up; the park I was told has been nailed for years and there's not much to be found other than clad, which is very true. Regardless, last year I hit a 42'...

These are some finds from a recent Chicago Park hunt . Found a buttload of junk/bottle caps, $5 in change, a toy car, a working $50 activity tracker....and.... Went to up on a big hill early in the morning, and was just reaching the top, when I saw another detectorist. It's kind of an annoying...

i hunted my first park today. Overall there was a lot of junk but a couple of interesting finds. Nothing too old. Oldest coin was a 1964 Jefferson

Its finally happening! I'm getting my first detector in around a week. My parents said if I got a good grade on my report card, they will get me a detector as an early birthday gift. I got my report card yesterday, and... I got 95.32%! I am still so excited, and I can't wait to get to detecting...

[Click on a picture to increase resolution] My dad and I went back to a Seattle park that I posted about last time. It gave us 2 20's mercs so we thought we would give it another shot. Got a very obvious 12-47 by a tree and ended up with a heavily encrusted quarter. We were very surprised no...
