Old abandoned park still givin' it up. Seated, Barber and more!

I got out to do a little dirt fishin' on Sunday with my dad, unclevinn, brother-in-law and good friend Dan32981. We headed back to the old abandoned park. Yet again, it did not disappoint. In about 7 hours I managed an 1868 shield nickel, 2 1910 wheaties, an 1888 IHP. I also found a gold plated cufflink and a gold ring marked 1/20 on the inside. Dan found 2 IHP's dated 1906 and 1897. Unclevinn found a 1887 IHP. My brother-in-law found a really neat presidential token. My dad...... had his best day at this park. He found an 1896 Barber quarter, which is a blazer! Then he dug 2 seated dimes with in a foot of eachother. He then unearthed an 1899 barber half! In the same hole with the half was a 1919 buffalo, 1920 canadian penny and a 1913 wheatie! This park has been simply amazing to all of us. It is a huge area and I wonder if the well will ever be dry. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thanks for looking and happy hunting. Oh yeah, my dad also managed to find 2 V nickels and 3 IHP's.

Once again another great hunt, i only managed 2 IH's and no silver but its always exciting when someone from "The Dirt Fishing Crew" pulls some nice silver from the ground especially a barber half! See you tomorrow and i have a feeling we'll find something good at the foundation we are headed too.

That is what it is all about right there.

Thanks again guys. Just a little more info on this park. It operated from 1896-1916. There could be up to 10,000 people there on any given weekend. There was a dance hall, casino and a big stage where they did shows. They had a fire in 1916 and never reopened it.
