Another satisfied on-looker

[DugHoles]

Well, I finally got out to hunt at my usual park today. I had a little boy who showed up on a bike helping me the whole time. He was about 9 or 10 and was legitimately excited when we unearthed something. Mostly pennies were found of course with an occasional pin or pull tab. He also was really impressed with the fact that we could make the hole we just dug look like we wern't even there.

My last hit before I had to leave came up as a quarter, so I had him recover it using my Tinytec and it turned out being a copper ring! Wow, was he excited.

All in all, we found 2d, 11p, American pin, and that copper ring.

Hopefully he got some good tips from me, which I really believe he did, on how to recover items from the ground. I took some pics of the park for your viewing enjoyment.

Great Finds!
I couldn't believe it when I saw that picture of the park. I said to myself, now that place looks very familiar. And of course it does, because I've been there. I grew up in South Glens Falls and probably only about 5 miles from there. Small world. Good Luck with hunting.

I know of a good place you might want to check out. It's an underground foundation close to the hudson river and its dated very old. I don't know the exact date, but it would definitely be worth checking out. I haven't lived up there for 10 years now, but I remember this place as I discovered it when I was just a kid.

Here's the directions....
You want to follow Nolan rd towards the hudson river. Just before nolan rd turns into a steep hill heading down towards the river is the location. Just as you begin to head down the hill (about 15 ft), look right. Head into the woods there and within about 30 ft or so you will find the location. It's quite hidden. It has a flat rock roof on it and its covered with dirt. You may only be able to see the opening to walk down into it. The place is a bit creepy. Bring a flash light. It's all undergound and very dark. It has dirt floors. Here's a link to put you in the vicinity. Look for nolan rd on the map and good luck. Please let me know if you get out there and find anything.

Beautiful park. I like to include the kids occasionally also. It's good for them to go home & say, look what I found.

Nice digs, WTG!!!
And it was very nice of you to let the boy tag alone. I'm sure he will remember it for quite sometime...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

Thanks for the pictures, Dug. Sometimes kids who "help" can be sooooo annoying and sometimes they truly are interested and helpful. You probably made his day. Good job.
