Bob (Mirage from the Quattro forum) and his son Nate met me this past Saturday and we searched here and there in an old park in NE Ohio. Holy Crap I have never seen so many beavertails!..they were literrally laying on the surface in spots! Nate found a silver Rosie and a couple wheaties..towards the evening I found two wheaties right before Bob and Nate left for home (thanks guys for calling me!)
Here's something weird too...right before they left, I was telling Bob about how a week ago, less than 10 ft apart I found two Hong Kong coins in a park in Shaker Heights...ok?...so right after that Bob and Nate leave for home. I decided to keep looking until dark. Right as their van was pulling away I decided to walk up a steep water-washed path leading up into the woods and some rocky cliffs. At the base of the path I got a loud signal in the nickle range at 3-4". I dug up a 1955 Hong Kong 2 cent coin!...what are the odds of that???
Anywho...I continued up into the cliff area, and started picking up coin after coin, including three more wheaties, with one almost laying on the surface under leaves and detritous that looks almost new (1935). I left at dark (no light-dangererous hike down rocks)
I am going back there for sure...seems no one has MD'd there back in the cliffs.
On Sunday, I was working the parking area of the Summit County Fairgrounds while my dog wandered around and unearthed a beautiful 1920 Mercury dime (all bands rounded and fully split).
I'll post a pic of the MErc shortly, and maybe a pic of the 2 cent HK coin tomorrow.
