HI YOUALL:

Back in the early 80's I was hunting in a park in Kansas City Mo..........It was a beautiful glass eye.

That's about as unique as I've ever heard. Just out of shear curiosity, can I ask what park was it? I live in KC.

It was in Penn Valley park just east of the old BMA building where they built the fire fighters memorial. I found it when they bladed off the ground before it was built. alot of nice silver came from that site also. I worked in the BMA building for 25 years and found alot of coins in the yard on the south east corner. It used to be an orphanage until 1954-I think. I have hunted pretty much everywhere you can hunt in that area.

I don't know if you're still local, but they turned the BMA building into lofts.
There's alot of area in that park. I'm sure there's still a silver of two, though they are hard to find. I've hunted it just a couple times. A friend squeaked a seated half, worn almort smooth, out of there recently. The time I hunted it, they had just ground up a couple tree stumps. In the sawdust, I found a "Penn Valley Pool Towel Tag". I guess back in the 30's or so, they had a public pool there.

Regards,

I went out to an old farmhouse site with the owner who told me he knew that there was burried coins on the property. Started swinging the Deleon and get a solid hit at 95 (good for the Deleon). So we started digging and it ended up being the top of a stove with one of the cast iron burner protectors still sitting on the stove top. :-[
 

When hubby and I took our vacation to FL last January, I dug up a few condom wrappers. They rang in 24, gold/nickel/poptab, on my machine. Thank goodness it's easy to dig in sand where touching is unnecessary! Needless to say, I didn't add those to my 'bag 'o finds'! YUK!! :o ;D :)
 

about 7-8 years ago i was hunting in my old junior high school field and got a strong reading. i had gotten my MD'er just recently and was still learning it. i proceeded to dig. dug about a foot down and found the solidly rusted remains of a heavy steel chain.

recently found a nice shiny pipe that turnd out to be a gasline with my coinstrike. MD'er called it silver. it was silver looking alright.
