The return to Baltimore City parks and a surface find

[8Reales]

As of today Baltimore city parks \ reopen to detecting after the usual 2 month break. I headed to an older park thats actually a first for me. To my surprise very little trash, lots of Zincons and few clad. I hit a cool spill with two wheats ( 1950 D & 1953 ) and two Nickels 1941 & 1952, I was hoping for a silver dime in that hole but never happened. Pulled two vintage Huber keys ( well 1 and 1/2 ) Followed by a 1954 nickel and later a 1941 wheat. A Marble and pocket knife where also present. I'm sure there is silver among those oldies, a return trip is on my head, My two better finds have to be a flattened 1891 10 Centicimos from the Dominican Republic ( really though it was my first colonial coin ) and lastly my best surface find in a while a very nice ______________, can someone please tell me what this is called? I seen detectors used them in dry soil, but i don't know the name. Try to check with the park office to see if it belong to park workers but it was closed. HH

The tool is a hand-held cultivator/digger, 8Reales. Useful in weeding in gardens. Some have wooden handles, but the better ones are made of aluminum which lasts longer. Nice finds!

Would love to hit the beach, good luck and HH

Hi yes, sorry for the confusion, I was congratulating Brad on the finds he had in his latest video from the Hoover Boys, me and him are in the same detecting club.

I was really hoping there would be silver as i put the probe down and it kept going off, but there was none. My best spill ever, silver wise, was 2 Washington silver quarters, a 1937 Buffalo nickel and a 1946 Jefferson nickel.

Thanx, Ill give it a try in my garden.

Great that you got out, very nice finds.
They close Baltimore parks to metal detecting for 2 months during the summer?
Congrats on your finds

Yes during the months of July and August Baltimore city parks are close to detecting, I think it has to do with the dry soil conditions as those are the hottest months for us. Yet Baltimore county parks remain open all year round.
