It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I usually get to hunt only one morning per week, and this morning was it. I chose a park on Google maps and headed out. As soon as I arrived at the crack of dawn, I noticed a group of homeless/druggies milling around, and trash and clothes everywhere. Detecting was nearly impossible due to the trash in the ground, and the group of unsavory characters had their eye on me. I saw one of them urinating, not even trying to hide it. Overall, I had a bad feeling about the park, and hopped in the pickup to find something new.
Google maps again. I arrived at the second park, about 2 miles away, and was immediately greeted with a smile by a lady walking her dogs. The sun was shining, the air was fresh, and there was hardly any trash in the ground. I started finding quarters immediately, which is always a good sign for me. Towards the end of the hunt, I found this gold grill in the spectator area of the baseball field, third base side. It's not marked, but is definitely gold. I believe 14k. My 2nd gold grill of my detecting career. I also pulled in a little more than $9 in clad.
Location is everything! I'm going to be more picky about my parks, as there is no shortage of options around here. Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
