Pre-Civil War dime

[McCDig]

This morning I met up with JF to hunt a park in SW Baltimore. Eventually we made it to a school close by and did better there, with JF recovering an 1898 IHC. We parted ways around 1PM and I headed into town and ended up at my old nemesis, Druid Hill Park. Yes, I returned. First old target was this thimble that reads "For A Good Girl", around the top rim. I kept in the same general area and amongst competing targets located a high-tone that turned out to be a well-preserved seated dime, dated 1857. Still some surprises left at Druid.

Thanks hill_billiez! Last one I found was in this park as well. I've been to most of the larger parks in Baltimore and have found seated in two of them, silver in all of them though. I think the Equinox has made a difference for me.

Thanks Inspector! Is it amazing how good a "Hot Wheels" car sounds? Many times I've thought "half dollar" to uncover a racing care.

They sure do & as much as I love HW's I would prefer the halves popping out, GL

That park is awesome!!

 

[McCDig]

You're right about that Bryan1776. I've done well there and this last visit after being away from it for 2 - 3 months worked out better than I expected.

Thanks Professor! Nice to see silver in the hole.

Thanks crossfire631! I see you have the 600 as well. It's a good one for seeking out silver.....keep swinging.

Thanks Basque-Man. Can you imagine what the first detectorists found here? This one peeped through the modern trash.
