What's in your Purse?

It finally rained. I got out this afternoon and went to a local park that I have hunted 3 times before. I was even searching in the same area that I always search in and I got a signal for a penny at about 3" down. It sounded a little sporadic but I dug it anyway. Afterdigging down about 2 1/2" I reached my hand in the hole to remove the loose dirt and much to my surprise I pulled out a fist full of coins and they just kept coming. It appears someone had lost their purse. The purse for the most part was rotted away and anthing else that was in it was gone also but I came out with 8 quarters, 30 dimes, 30 nickles and 7 pennies. Along with my other finds today (about an hour and a half) I have 98 coins just from today. What a great day to be detecting.

Re: What's in your Purse?

Nice Cache! ?I used to live in Overland Park @ 84th and Carter. ?There are a couple parks within a few blocks of there I used to frequent, but I didn't find any old stuff. ?Probably cause I didn't have a very good detector then. ?
You should check them out sometime. ?

USMC-DAV,
I live in Olathe, KS and the park I found this at was at 87th and Lackman rd in Lenexa, KS.? I have only been there 4 times but every time I go I always bring home a couple dollars in change.? Kansas City area has a lot of great parks and I don't think very many people metal detect around here, I never see anyone else out hunting and I am always finding lots of coins.? So far this Month I have found 314 coins. Check out my webpage link on the left of this post, thats where I keep track of where I go and what I find.

Don't take too much from there...that's on my to-do list! ;)

Did you get a county park permit yet? SM Park is really close to where you were.

Yes, I am a card carrying authorized detectorists, cost me $5 but well worth it.
