The new park has the old!

Hi all,
Stopped back at the new park that was built on an an old farm for about an hour and a half hunt. I followed the old driveway Bach towards the river to where it opened up to a small grassy area. I didn't get far before I got a bouncy 12-30/32 at about 8 inches. First thing I see is a Briggs and Stratton key. :eyebrow: Going in to recheck the hole I spotted a brown coin. Picked it up and knocked the dirt off and realized I had a 1901 V Nickel! Scanned the hole again and found a matching Briggs key. Rechecking, and got another beep. This time I pulled a buffalo! (1915 or 16) Check once more and find a 1919 wheatie which rounded out the spill- cool beans! The grassy area gave up several more wheats before heading back towards the car. Swinging through the park headed home, I got a nice deep 12-38. I was expecting another wheat, but was surprised but a cast copper harness buckle. Cleaning it a bit I found it was dated 1870! That's the oldest one so far for me. Great way to finish out the morning! :happydance02:

Nice spill, Chris.

Wow! That's some hole! Keys and coins! Those Buffs are such a drag...never date those things. Nice going!

Knew there was some coins there for ya.....:congrats:.

Thanks guys!
A bit more research and I stumbled on a real estate listing of the house next to where I was hunting and found it started as a farm house ( now turned high dollar luxury estate) that was built in 1865. So there really is good history in the area.

You got one awesome spot there! Low & slow is the way to go.

Nice finds Chris, must be some silver hiding there as well. Good Luck WD

Solid finds, great research! I'm sure there will be many more hours of hunting at that spot!
