Not much found, but still had fun hunting a small neighborhood park............

[Kelley (Texas)]

I spent a few hours hunting a small private neighborhood park...a park that is owned by the neighborhood association. The only playground equipment is an old merry-go-round and swing set, nothing else, not even a picnic table. All that I found were modern clad coins with the exception of a large Mexican coin about the size of a half dollar. After I cleaned the Mexican coin, I noticed that it appears to be made out of brass, not copper as I first thought. I was surprised at two things, I found more nickels than normal and at the same time I only found one clad dime...strange. I only hunted around the merry-go-round because of the amount of time that I had for hunting, but next time I want to hit the area around the swing set and a couple old trees in the park. I suspect that there may be some silver coins and wheat pennies, but not much. All in all, I had fun using the MXT. Kelley (Texas)

That's one neat coin and sure cleaned up nice! I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope you will find some old coins at the park. Sounds like it's a good possibility. You had a good day of hunting. HH to all, Nancy

It may be worth a couple of dollars at most...but it was still fun finding it. Kelley (Texas)
