Yesterday (Saturday) I tried several new sites but most of them didn't pan out. Towards the end of the day I decided to head back to V Nickel Park. I didn't find any V Nickels there this time, but I did get an Indian Head and a Barber Dime.

Today I drove in the opposite direction to a small town (Pop. 250) that I had never been to before that has an old grade school. The school grounds are quite large and contain an old ball field. I have a feeling that I will be making some return trips to this site as I found SIX silvers there today and 11 wheat cents. There is still a lot of area that I haven't touched.

Here are my finds for the weekend:
62052

The keepers:
62053
62054


Mashed thimble advertising some kind of flour:
62055

Old water pistol:
62056

Gold plated cufflink:
62057

Thanks for looking and Happy Mother's Day! :cheering:

HI Tony congratulations on a nice hunt did you make a video?


Yes, I just need to edit the footage and put the video together. It will probably be on YouTube in a day or two.

Welcome to the forum, by the way! |:cheering:

Very nice finds Tony! Any spot you find 6 silvers on your first hunt deserves another visit for sure! :yes:

Probably virgin ground. Not many people drive to a 250 population town to hunt. Their loss. lol

The smallest town in CT is around 700. I don't know where I'd go to find a place that small... lol
They must have had money though, and holes in their pockets |:cheering:

Hey Tony,Way to go at the new spotthe silver mineI've had the same type luck,search the oldest properties and find nothing but new clad or nothing at all(even the trash's gone) Once you clean out this new stuff you'll get the great oldies we all love! Best of luck this season and HH......
