3 Hours at a Small Park Today

[jeff of pa]

Wanted to do a Former Jr. High School
Grass wasn't Mowed.

Nobody at the Football field Behind it To let me In,
& I Didn't want to run up to the High school & Ask
them to send somebody down with the Key
so I Could Detect. So I Settled for the Park.



Todays Gas Rebate a Whopping
$3.05
Which is a Record for me With the SE



Other Finds
a Trailer



a Knife



and 3 Wheats

1937 - 1944 - 1957 D



While there A Woman with that Park
came over to ask
If I was finding Things &
She mentioned Her Daughter Lost a ring
From Hershey Park,
that has her Name on it in the Park
Somewhere & Asked me to Keep an eye out for it.
Which I Promised to do.

Besides I want in the Pool area
Once the Grass is Mowed

Yea I Don't think I'v found that much change in one hunt
since the 80's
& Unless it's all Quarters $8.00 an Hour is Beyond Me

Just a Guess But I Don't think I Ever found more then
$19 in a 10 Hour day

So far the most Ive Found in a pocket Dump in PA was $1.75, 7 Quarters in a park next to a baseball field..Looked like an Early 1990's loss as nothing was dated over 1991, and the earliest was an 1982 3" deep.. But Im not finding the clad that alot of other areas are posting..

Nice Hunt today Jeff

Good job Jeff...I actual love hunting old parks. It is the only hunting I seem to find time to do as of late.

Went out today at lunch time and found a 1949 Roosevelt dime, a 1918 Merc, one wheatie and two IHs (have not cleaned yet so no dates) This park has produced around 10 large cents since I started detecting it a few months back.

Since some of the city parks I hunt have only meter parking I'm just happy if I get back enough clad to cover what I put in the meter.

Good luck with getting into the football field and swimming pool areas.

I recently hit a festival site that gave up about $8 in dropped change, 2 rings and HUNDREDS of pull tabs.... It took me 5+ hours to do that...

nice day out Jeff, way to go!!! The sun finally came out so there was no keeping us in today, could it I was out myself, post to come, decent day!!!

 

[Smudge]

I hate the fact I can only detect on the weekends.

I really envy you guys. But I mean that in a good way.

Nice finds!

 

[jeff of pa]

Good luck finding the Hershey Park ring Jeff and hunting the pool area!

Thanks Rob !

Did the pool many years ago.
was productive for Gold & Silver Rings.

I Keep wondering how many I Missed

Grass is getting High in the Park too.
With all the rain we been getting
since early april, Nobody can keep up
with the grow rate.

By the time you get good weather
& Mow your Grass here.
It rains for a week again & It's time to mow the grass.

I Mowed Mine & Clipped My Hedge in
the Rain Monday


Thanks all !

So today the park I wanted to hunt was having the grass cut and around here a crew of 20 people or so come in like worker ants and do the entire city park at once.

This post inspired me to do an experiment. I went to another park that is close by and went straight to the area with all the basketball courts think that with the fill it would not produce any oldies but I would maximize my clad finds. Focusing on quarter signals I was able to dig $5 in quarters and around another 50 cents in pennies, nickels and dimes. Also got a nice silver ring with a black opal setting. All done during an hour hunt.

Not the $8 an hour someone else mention in CA but not too shabby for NJ. I did spend $1 on the meter so the profit was $4.50 and a nice silver ring. So now that the grass is cut in the other park that is where I'm heading tomorrow in search of large coppers.
