Got out the last two days and hunted two different parks . Yesterday was a newer park , nothing old to be found . I did find ring #21 , a very small sterling silver ring happydance02 . Also found some Scout stuff , a Pinewood Derby medal and a scout slide . The two charms are just plated .
Today I hunted an older park . I believe it dates back to the 1920's . I have hunt it many times over the past 16 years and it doesn't give up much anymore . Today was different . At 4 inches I had a +77 on my MXT PRO . I was very happy to see silver in the hole , cut 1919 Mercury dime :happydance01: . It's the first Mec of 2013 . The other good coin found was a 1945 wheat at around 5 inches .
Total clad for both hunts was $11.17 .
Finally have work tomorrow so back to hunting weekends only . thumbsup01
