Hunted a medium strip in Golden Gate Park in S.F. today. It was about 15 feet wide and 200 feet long. Right off the bat I dug a mercury dime (1943-S). Also got a silver quarter (1942-P) and 3 wheat pennies. Total clad out of the strip was $3.24. Spent about 3 hours there and pretty much cleaned it out. Drove about 3 miles to another park in the sunset district and pulled out a silver rosie and 3 wheat pennies. It was unusually hot in S.F today, about 90 degrees. I was done after 5 hours worth of hunting, so I headed home. 3 silvers made it a great day!

The silver quarter was only 4 inches, the mercury dime was a gopher gift at 2 inches. our S.F. parks are infested with gophers. I'm glad, they bring up the old coins!

Nice silver finds. You braved that hot temps longer than I would. I'd be burnt to a crisp. :)

I started early today, about 7am. It sometimes gets hot around here, but at least the humidity is non existant!

Nice silvers. The soil is hard on the wheats out there. Nice job, I can't take that 90 degree weather, glad to see fall is here.
