Howdy diggers,
I went back to that old park again for a 4-hour hunt this morning. Worked yet another trashy area. An older gentleman showed me where the old bandstand was years ago so I stayed in that area.
I found several wheaties, a mercury dime, a buffalo nickel (my 5th 1920), and a 1906 Barber dime! Here's the link to the video of the hunt:
ACE 250 gets more old silver!!! Haircut anyone? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bN-am9ZWfw#)
This was my 9th hunt at that park and so far she has given me 2 Barber dimes, 8 mercs, 2 Rosies, 3 war nickels, 7 buffalos, 1 V nickel, 3 indian head pennies, and several dozen wheaties! The Barber dime is my 20th silver coin of the year! (I know, I know, big deal, Angel got that many in 1 day...)
I have noticed there are very few coins down to about 5 inches. Most of the coins I have found have been 6, 7, or 8 inches deep. Also, most of the coins have come in sounding like trash or very iffy. I can't wait to get an E-Trac so I can get all the coins deeper than 8 inches! Thanks for looking at my post, HH!!
