Park Creek Hunt

[Dan(NM)]

We are in semi drought conditions here in Central Texas. I went back to the park that's been producing quite well. Today I focused on where the water would normally be under normal conditions. I ran my tone break right at 21 because the trash was almost unbearable. I may have left some nickels but I was able to pick up a few keepers. When I have more time and patience I'll go back and investigate the mid to lower tones.

Nice finds, you had to work for those. That's a nasty sloping bank to navigate. HH jim tn

Thank you. The bad thing about that area is, those are cockleburs, nasty buggers!!

Nice hunt Dan, I know I'd be happy with a hunt like that.
Recently I've started using the same method as you are talking about, running high disc on all new areas and if I find a good productive area then slow down and lower my disc.
It's all about finding more silver for me.

Nice digs for sure. So you are detecting the bank that is now exposed, cool idea!

Thank you. I have to drive an hour one way to hunt this place, gotta use my time wisely

Thanks Tony. I'm hoping the water continues to recede, I think more keepers are lurking there.

Dang man that is a lot of good coins. You was definitely doing week there. I like the photo with the detector laying on the bank.

Nice diggins.
Love a site like that.
Try to locate the Old swimming locations.
I believe you'll be in heaven.

Dan, interesting strategy, and it paid off nicely for you! Even though you had to navigate a steep slope AND those nasty cockleburs, there was a reward waiting.

NICE JOB!

Thank you. I'm pretty sure I know where its at. There is a concrete dam not far from where I was that had the date 1912 on it. I'll be keeping my eye on the water level

That's cool Dan! I found an old site that has remnants of a dam. Research indicates that it went out due to major ice problems in 1938. Might be a coin along that bank too!

Thank you. It might pay off nicely if you hit the right spot.

 

[JimmyCT]

Glad you took advantage of the circumstances! Tough hunting indeed! That bank is a perfect place to hunt. Congratulations on some great finds!!

 

[fwcrawford]

Good eye to spot that area to try.
Looks like it held some goodies for you too!!
