New Hunting Spot

[DigMO]

Hey everybody.It's been awhile since I've posted anything but I've been doing a little research and this is what I've found.I actually lucked into this.I was looking for information on something else and came across info on this place.I'd never heard of this place before and so I started searching and asking questions.This was a trolley park that opened up in 1895.It was a booming place back then.They had boating,swimming,tennis courts,baseball field,a roller coaster,dance pavilion,midway,a big swinging bridge and several other things.This place is huge.Then when automobiles came out the trolley business slowly died and so did this park.From what I know this place closed in the 1930's.All the buildings are gone now but the foundations are still there.Sadly,some people have used it for a dump and others have used it for a party spot.I've made a deal with the owner to clean some of the trash for the privilege to detect this place.Anyway,it's just a few finds so far but I'm thrilled just to be there.I found my first Indian Head pennies-1881 and 1886.Also found a 1913 wheatie,I think that one is a hat pin and the other is part of a bracelet that once had a stone in it.Couldn't find the stone.My brother found a 1913 barber dime.Sorry,I forgot to take a pic of it.Hope you all enjoy the pics.

DigMo you did a great job with the research. To be looking for info on one place and then to find info on a place like this one is awesome. It's called adapability!!!! The first coins are exciting. Hope you find the silver soon, let us know.

This is a great post. The old post cards are awesome. I love the pictures of how it looks today. I bet you will find lots of silver dimes if you keep hitting that place. Find where the midway was. There should be lots of coins along there on the sides where all the vendors were. The same with the rollercoaster, find the entrance where they paid to ride. Looks like a great place to hunt. Good luck.

WOW!! Great finds! It's haunting to see how it looks today. Like it's on another world or something. Ya know when you see those Sci-Fi movies about futuristic cops in the year 2100! (Okay....I haven't had enough coffee )

Have fun hunting and keep us posted on your finds!
