But sadly, nothing very interesting.
I finally got to work the last section of the park I've been working for over a month. This park is 2 blocks long, and full of trash. It's been a slow, annoying search, but I've managed to pull 3 silvers and around a dozen wheats from this site. Today I was next to the tot-lot and hit a 30 coin spill site. Sadly they were all memorials. They littered an area with a 6 foot radius. Man that was a lot of digging since they were all 1- 2 inches deep. I also pulled a 1940 nickel from that same spot, but it was deeper than the pennies.
My total for this mornings hunt:
1 Wheat
3 quarters
6 nickels
8 dimes
72 memorials.
I think I am going to quit working this park. The occasional silver kept me hunting for more, but I have finally covered the whole ground. Hopefully one of the other places I have lined up will give up some silver. I am also working permission for a farm field that held a circus / fair back in the early 1900's. Well, actually I HAVE permission, I'm just trying to find the location. Research found nothing on this site, but the info came from a local old-timer. Just trying to pin down exactly which piece of ground it was on. It's going kinda slow becuase I'm trying not to be a pest and annoy this guy.
