Had about an hour after work before dark tonight to swing. I hit a small park last night that I had never been too and found a bunch of clad. Pulled in tonight and couldn't believe the amount of people in this little place. Decided to go somewhere else. As I was turning around in the back of the parking lot I saw a small section of the park that just looked old and unused. It just has THAT look. Decided to spend my hour there Instead of driving around. Glad I did....only 4 coins, but a '36 Merc, a '39 Walker, a '56 D Wheat, and a clad dime.
First decent tone of the hunt....

Then I dug the Wheat and a the clad dime. Just at dark I got a scratchy but decent signal. After finding the Merc, I was digging a lot more iffy signals. This place is loaded with old nails. I almost skipped this one as it was almost dark out and there was so much junk around it it was hard to get a repeatable signal. Glad I dug!!!

Can't wait to go back. To be honest with you I was starting to think I was doing something wrong the past 3 weeks. This was a huge confidence booster!!! HH
