I met up with Hiluxyota, Coin chaser and 4 other detectorists to hunt a Chicago park. It rained off and on most of the day, but at least it wasn't snow. I dug my first coin about a half hour into the hunt, an 1898 Indian. A while later I dug an old Ford hub cover. We moved across the street to another part of the same park. After a couple of wheats, I dug a chain bracelet that i thought was maybe stainless. It rang up in the 12-30s. This morning i got out the loop and it is in fact, stamped Sterling. Cool!
The last coin I dug before lunch was a 1937 Merc.

After a rain delay and then lunch, I got back out and dug an 1897 V nickel and a 64 Canadian penny in pretty short order.
That was it for me. Nothing but clad and bottle caps the rest of the day.

Great group hunt, if that's the last hunt for the year it was nice to get some silver and oldies. WD

It definitely was a good day. I didn't quite make the roll of Indians this year. I was thinking of you when I found 49. Dug a lot of Zincs the last hour trying. LOL
