This is Actually Yesterday's Finds but what the heck....
So I hit an old park and dug up tons of clad; about 44 coins (after trashing all of the nasty zinc pennies) but no silver or anything really old to speak of.
Ironically, I did manage to find two Wheaties, a 1942 and a 1944 but they were both from a 3 year old tot lot in the park.
Go figure.
I found two keys, one monogrammed key chain and a very large and old lock washer. I also found a plastic kid's ring but I'm not counting it.
I do have a good feeling about this spot. It's a very old park that I haven't even begun to really hunt. I was sidetracked by 4 kids from the same family ranging in age from 5-12. They had a million questions and I let the 12 year old boy and the 8 year old girl give the detector a try. The little girl found a 1967 dime and the boy found a 1966 quarter. Those dates lead me to believe that there just may be some silver to be had when I go back.
That's pretty much it. Today after work we try again.
