We decided to give 'silver park' a break for this hunt in order to try a new spot. Ron lined this one up to add to our roster.

The area we were searching today had lots of public activity starting in the mid 40's. After arriving and firing up the machines,
it wasn't long at all before the first silver coin showed up. :happydance01: For the next couple of hours we enjoyed
many 'no brainers' in the 4-6 range. Searching for missed coins in heavily hunted parks is challenging and very
rewarding. But once in a while it sure is fun to have a hunt where older coins scream out loud and clear... &quot:grin:ig Me!! :smitten:

There is quite a bit of late 60's and 70's clad to filter through here. The Buffalo I found was only two inches deep,
so digging all targets is necessary.

We ended the hunt with 3 silver coins each. A fun day for sure. Great job on the site Ron. :beerbuddy:

My take for the hunt.

Best of luck to anyone going out on Sunday.

Congrats on the great finds at the new site, Joe! That 1945 quarter looks like it was new when it was dropped, not much wear on it at all.

I like the way the buffalo nickel looks too, nice and smooth. Our soil down here gives them a rough texture.

Nice that you got a war nickel too! I think you and me were in a war nickel slump together, and we both found one recently.

Way to rescue those old coins! :clapping:

Very nice new spot you ot there Joe. :congrats: on your 3 silvers and the buff looks good. Its tough when you have to dig all targets because of the depth.The park that Rob and I have been hitting is the same thing, keepers at 2 and less.
