Seated in Chicago

[Bharpring]

After work in Chicago last night I decided to forego the lake water hunt due to both the iffy weather appearance (even though clear skies were forecast) and the lack of time and hit a small park. I ended up getting rained on little but dug some nice coins. 1882 Indian Head Penny, 1887 Seated Dime and an 1893 V Nickel. It almost made up for my dropped gold 3/4 of a broken ring that I lost water hunting the day before in Lake Michigan. However I’d did catch the finds on video and will be uploaded on my YouTube channel Bharp Detectorist in the near future.

I know this is an old thread, but I heard that the Chicago city council outlawed the use of metal detectors in city parks. Does anyone know if this is true? I may be taking a trip to the Windy City in September.
