Alec and I decided to travel a couple of hours from home this morning to do some Park hunting.
We were at the first park for about half an hour when Alec dug his first good target, a 1930 Buffalo. 20 minutes later, a 1945 Merc. He finished the park off with a small button that was down about 9 inches. I dug a 1945-P War nickel and a 1914-D Wheat Cent. Alec told me he was pretty sure it was a Key Date, so we looked it up on e-Bay. Yep, pretty nice find.
The second park was small, about the size of average back yard. Alec started along the sidewalk. In his first twenty feet, he dug a 1944 Washington and a 1926 Merc. He also found a shell casing right next to a veterans memorial. I dug a few more wheats and a beat up Tax Token.
Another great day out with my son.

You guys did pretty darn good! Congrats. Amazing what you can find even in the little bitty parks. It snowed all day here so I was housebound. :-(

HUGE congrats on the key date Wheat Cent! That is a great find for sure! :notworthy:

It guides for $200 in G-4 condition in the Redbook! Yours cleaned up pretty well too.

Nice finds Don. It is too cold for me to get out, but by Wednesday it is supposed to be back in the 70's. Beautiful Wheat. Soooo old and rare!!!! Good to hear about another family hunt. God bless you.
