Sunday park hunt

I met up with my buddy Worm early this morning to hunt my favorite park. Worm had the first good find with what both he and I thought was a small silver charm in the shape of a lion. When he got home and cleaned it off it was marked 14k! I didn’t get a pic of it but maybe he’ll chime in and post one. At about the same time I hit a wheat cent. That gave hope because both of us have pounded this old football field. After two more wheats I got a nice high tone and thought for sure I had a silver dime but it turned out to be a small horseshoe charm marked 925. At about the same time Worm hit a 925 religious ring in the corner of the football field. By then it was getting really hot and decided to call it quits. I had just moved to a field adjacent to the old football field where I got silvers in past hunts. As Worm was working his way back to his truck I got a nice high tone and out comes a 39 merc. Worm came over to look at it and started back working his way to his truck when not 6 feet away from that merc I got a similar high tone and out pops another worn merc with an incomplete date. After that I did a little gridding in that area but no luck. So I decided to call it quits and began working my way back across the football field to my car and right before I get to my car another high tone and another silver dime this time a 51 rosie.

When I got home I got curious as to how many silver coins I’ve dug at this park so I looked back through my log book and counted 31! I’ve also dug 5 or 6 (I’ll have to check) gold rings in this park.

Today’s three gets me to 22 for the year.
