I have been hunting a s small park near where I live off and on for the last couple of years, I usually hunt here when I have only a short time to hunt during the week. This park is not very well kept and normally you are lucky if get there just after they have mown the weeds. The finds here are usually not anything great but has produced some coins I remember one day I found what seemed like a roll of pennies I could not move my coil an inch without hitting more pennies until I cleaned them all up. I have found a wheat penny or two and some pennies from the early 60's but mostly newer coins. There is not much to use at this park either so I'm sure the traffic is light at best. There is a volleyball court overgrown with weeds with no net a few horseshoe pits also covered with weeds a section of cement tunnel for kids to climb on or sit in but mostly used for the graffiti of the week. Anyway in the far corner if this park is what looks like the remnants of a burned down house the brick foundation is there but at ground level there is also scorch marks on a light pole in the same little lot. I have found most of the older pennies back in this area so I figure if there are any dimes and quarters here they will be silver. Whoever lived here before must have been a welder by trade or something because there are many signals here but when you dig them they are pieces of what I would only describe as slag chunks of melted metals of all kinds steel, aluminum and so forth. Last night my efforts finally paid off I hit a strong silver signal but many of the pieces of slag have hit that way so so I was not expecting anything special, I have been real careful to dig each target so as not to damage it if indeed I do find a old coin as i popped a chunk of dirt up a round dark disc dropped into the hole it must have been right on or very near the surface. When I found the item I saw it was a 1964 Washington quarter the face of it looked like it had been scorched and the back of it was very tarnished but both sides were in very good condition otherwise. When I got it back home I was able to clean it up to almost a mirror finish with a little Mothers metal cleaner it is probably the best silver quarter I have found yet. I'm sure I will be back hitting this park with a little more enthusiasm in the future hopefully I will find some of George's friends or maybe something better hope you enjoyed the little story......Keep Looking down
