Took about a 45 minute drive to an old coal town that had a small park in it this weekend. The park had been renovated and some dirt moved in the 70's
sometime, but thought it might have some goods. Some areas had fill dirt and other areas were real rocky, but did manage a few keepers
The ground was hard on coins though, even the silver came out of the ground a little rough. The four silver dimes(1909/1912/1937/1961), an indian(1909)and 14 wheaties in about five hours of hunting. Not a great rate, but I didn't know if I would find anything so I was happy.
The other two coins came from a pounded park. Still get a few indians, but silver is rare. I found the barber by digging an iffy nickel signal which turned out to be a '47 nickel at about 4". Filled in the hole and then rechecked it, just to the side of the hole got a great dime signal. Turned out to be the 1913 barber at about 7".
That's the third siver dime I've found this year hidden by a nickel or pulltab. The indian is 1892.
