Good Day of Hunting (for me that is)

[KIXLSYD]

Today I really had a blast. I found a place in tacoma here that alot of people go to, but dont spend aa whole lot of time in. It is part of a trail in Pt. Defiance park. I plan on going back there tomorrow. I found 2q 2d and 5 p off the beaten path. I think the trick to hunting in this spot is to think like a person who is into nature and hugging trees. I found the coins around different old growth trees. I had a ball. The real excitment came when I was leaving. I was walking down this steep hill and slid and fell on my butt......2 times! but it was worth it. I was pumped, and still am. Talk to you later. Brad

RIGHT ON!!! good job man....NOW you're thinkin' like a true MDer! Here in CO I like to find places where people climb on the rocks, and hunt below those, and of course parks that have big shade trees are a prime spot for people to plop down and hence lose a little pocket change...I'm finding that people on here also had the very good idea of EDGES, many sidewalk edges contain coins that fell bounced or rolled off the sidewalk and into the grassy sections on the sides...everything that has an edge has a potential....anyway great finds and great that your so stoked!

? ? ? ? ?Doing great!! ? ? ?If they have any old Vistas with the rock wall, in that park. Then you might want to detect along the base of the wall, on both sides. People liked getting their picture taken, sitting on the walls. ?I've found some nice coins from that. Including a Franklin half dollar and other silver coins. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?HH

Thanks for the tips you guys. Im headed back down there again here in a little while. If I find anything else, i'll be sure to post it. This park had alot of work done by the CCC a long time ago. Maybe one of those guys dropped something that is still there. Talk to you soon, and thanks again, Brad

Doesn't it make you wonder how much money we are walking on and just don't know it!

Great job Brad!

Found another penny today. I feel stupid posting pennies, but I have a feeling this place is a hot spot. I'll keep you posted. Brad

Hey KIX! There is a fellow hunter in Tacoma that goes by ZOMBEE! You might post something to his attention if you're looking for a partner. Also a gal on Vashon, Sonja Marie that is a fairly new detectorist. If things ever slow down around here in Oregon, I was going to try to get together with them this summer. My wife has family all over the area in Tacoma. Some on Pearl just up from the park.
Congrats on your finds.
