Got to the park this morning around 7:00 and hunted for 2.5 hours. I found two silver in less than an hour. Once again I went in high disc to mainly go for coins. Eventually I'll start digging it all, but was limited for time today. I wound up with 1944 and 1959-D quarters. 1952 and 1957 rosies. A nice sterling religious medal, 7 wheaties mostly 50's. Also a fatboy indianhead. Can't tell if it's 1863 or 1868, but it was a welcomed surprise. It's the oldest coin I've found in this park. Before that the 1921 Morgan dollar was the oldest. Also 72 clads. One thing I found strange was I dug a 1940 nickel that was deep. Not sure why, I was on 8 in disc on my X2 and there was'nt any other coins with it. In 5 trips to this park I've found over 20 silver items. Not many like this one left.
Good Luck and have a happy and safe Memorial day weekend.

Hi,

Seems like a great place to hunt. Thats cool, You can pick up deeper nickels and IH :o with such a high Disc on!! Wonder, why or how? How old is this park, how many people know about it? What VDI did the IH come in as? How did you get your silver so clean? Sorry for all the questions but... I need to get answers some how ;D Nice finds!!

Keep @ it and HH!!
Ok, not quite sure on the age of the park. Only my two hunting partners and I know about this park as far as I know. I clean up my silver by rubbing the coins with baking soda and fingers. I would'nt advise it though on the better silver finds. How I picked up the Indian and the nickel is beyond me. Hope this helps.
