After doing a lot of research I drove about a half hour today to a town I've never been to before. My first stop was a TINY off the map park tucked away in the corner of a small neighborhood. It was on my radar to check out, because on the streets by it there are old homes mixed with the new development dating back to the early 1900's.
So what I though was going to be a quick scouting mission for old coins before I moved on, turned into the rest of my day. :lol:
My first signal was a surface quarter, then I hit 2 wheaties a foot a part from each other, a 1936 and 1955 D. Somehow I always hit the old coins first? :dontknow: Then didn't find any more for the next 4+ hours.
I hit the ring almost an hour in which sounded close to a quarter. Which leads me to a question for you jewelry gurus out there. Have you ever seen genuine sterling rings with a coating of silver plating or something similar that flakes away? I do believe it is sterling underneath, but there's a top coating that's flaking off. :dontknow:
Strangely enough, the half dollar was a foot away just like the wheaties. Gotta love when the good finds come in clusters. :hystericallaugh:
I dug a total of 241 coins with a clad total of $22.00. About half of the coins came from the tot lot, which I decided to hunt when I realized how many coins were in the park (was hoping to get a gold ring out of there)
I did some filming and video should be on my YT channel in less than an hour.
