Today was a busy honey do day so didnt manage to get out the house on my own until 2:00, sun sets 4:05…… Decided to go to older school (but still current) with city park behind it. Been there before and had good luck finding a couple silver coins and a couple silver rings. Felt like digging coins for the two hours and coming home with more than a sub dollar amount.
Started out and some kid wandered up and got inquisitive, nice kid so let him tag along. He was mostly interested in the pennies and the difference between zincs and coppers. He asked to keep the pennies so I let him have those. He asked if whatever I dig next could he have and I said sure unless it was silver. Hit a 2007 quarter and he said “hey thats my birth year”. I thought to myself go away……. Then I dug a dog tag for rabies dated 2007 so Merry Christmas kid. He left after that but again he was a really young man so no harm.
Next I notice an older guy shadowing me, he finally wandered over and started a conversation. “Place has been all cleaned out” he told me. Said he detects and has seen several guys with detectors combing the area pretty hard. Well, I already had the dog tag and the quarter and 4-5 copper pennies so obviously not cleaned out. What ever dude……
I swear he wasnt gone 3-4 minutes when I hit a solid half dollar signal so dug in hoping. At 6-8” it might be good! Well I’ll be damned, a silver dime and silver quarter in the same hole just a tiny bit apart!!!! Yes, jkline and I both been in this park and no we wouldnt have ignored that type of signal. So to the other guy, whatever dude!!!!! Lol
Also dug a ring that was pretty gunked up so probably junker but it is heavy so curious now. Currently soaking and will clean it up carefully
