First Hunt of 2013 Scores 2 Silvers! :clapping:

[DiggerODirt]

It has been in the 40s all week, and today it got into the 50s. After some rain the last 2 days, the snow was almost completely melted at a park we had hit once last year and pulled about 8 Silvers. Today I managed 2 more.
a 1903 O Barber Dime in EF condition, and a 1953 Rosie also in great shape. Also found was a 1956 Wheatie. $1.06 in countable clad was also found. it was a muddy mess, but well worth it. The new Sampson ball handle shovel came in real handy today. All was found with the stock coil. Did not feel like testing the new to me 6" or the N.E.L...Too much mud.

A Great start to 2013...And in January in NY no less...

From 1890 till 1910, there was a 1/2 mile horse and bicycle track in this park, and they held races and people bet on them...The county Fairs and Circuses were also held in the park...Within the last 5 years, the park underwent major repairs and was dug up to a depth of 1 foot and filled in 3 layers with sand, brown dirt, then top soil (black dirt). These coins were found in or under the sand layer...Not sure if they were dropped, or brought in with the fill dirt, but I will take them either way.
