Unique Park Hunt

[BULL]

I came across a park, nothing out of the ordinary just a regular park. Got to talking with one of the city guys and he told me this particular park was a dump site up until about 30 years ago when they cleaned it off and made the park out of it.? I must say I got a little excited about the possibilities of what may still be in the ground. He showed me exactly where the dump was located etc. I marked off a 20' X 20' section and proceeded to work it. Here are the results:


64 smashed Beer cans
189 pull tabs
1 heart shaped charm
1 smashed thimble(from insurance give aways, best I can tell is back in the 30" "I THINK")
18 nails
49 smashed cans of some sort
183 pieces of aluminum foil in different shapes and sizes.
1 silver dime
49 pennies, NO wheaties
16 clad nickles
1 clad quarter

Now with all of that, mostly junk, I am wondering IF it is worth it to pursue any more of it. The area is about 2 acres total, and lots of beautiful grass to trear up

Any suggestions on how I can do this effectively?

I thought about using the discrimnate button but was afraid if I did that I would miss something good? So I just dug everything!!!!!!? I spent 5 hours on this one section!!!!!!!!

Any help would be appreciated, since I am new to this I want to this thing right

If you dug that many nickels, you are doing it right and I'd vote to continue hunting it but not to the point of burnout. Sounds like you have a virgin site and one that will continue to pay dividends for a long time. I have a few spots like the one you describe. I hit them once or twice a month mainly to just keep cleaning them up...eventually the trash is gone.

Gosh, i don't know. You've made a couple of nice finds. But it seems to me that in time, you'll just be digging up what they tried to bury. I would be inclined to look for a little better and perhaps older place. And come back to this one occasionally if i have no other site at the time. HH

With some research you can find a better site I'm not saying that you wont find a ring or something good like that at that park but I think that you would do better with a old farm house or old one room school house that will give you old coins & relics. Hay it is good just get out like you are doing keep it up you will do better & better as you go out more & more . SASQUASH
