Little park, 5 hours, 3 silver, 17 wheats, and a GUN

[tonym]

Hi Gang:

Went back to the little park for 5 hours yesterday and this morning.

Picked up a 1917 and 1943 mercs, and a 1949 canadian silver dime. That makes 10 silver for August and 83 silver for year. I had 44 silver TOTAL in the previous 11 years.

Also picked up 17 wheaties ranging from 1916 to 1957. That makes 37 wheaties for August and 286 for the year. I had 270 wheats TOTAL in the previous 11 years.

This postage stamp sized park has now given me 25 silver and 125 wheats in my last 29 hours hunting there. I still think there are at least another 20 or so silver waiting to be found.

Hi Sube:

Not a cap gun as far as I can tell. Just 2 metal gun halves. No moving parts. It does have the initials RR on the left hand side of the handle. I am assuming that means Roy Rogers? Off a toy most likely?

Hmmm. I could be wrong http://www.etsy.com/listing/121753177/cap-gun-roy-rogers-king-of-the-cowboys
