More park hunting netted some nice finds. The 1818 coronet was about 30yrds from the 1740s coin I found a while back. These coins were most likely associated with a house across the street...and both very deep. I always find bunches of quarters at this site...like a DOLLAR AN HOUR!!! (N. Dynamite)
The wheats and merc were found 100 yrds away where I've been digging lots of early 20th cent silver. Thanks!

That 1818 Large Cent is beautiful, Drew! I love the color of it. It blows my mind that you can find coins that old in your parks. Incredible!

Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies! :thumbsup01:

Excellent Finds! :wow:

We have a variety of large old parks here in Syracuse NY. Dating back 150 plus years. They were constructed back when mule teams were used as heavy earth moving equipment. They have been hunted over and over by novices and pro-hunters alike. All the old coins have been removed long ago.

Again, some great finds! I'm still so blown away that there is still a park with coins that old!

I was thinking the same thing-I call shotgun! But in all honesty it would be a dream trip for me to hunt East coast style!

I agree Tony. It would be nice to just have the chance to find coins that old in our "hunted out" parks. You always manage to find some amazing little squeaker that everyone else somehow missed!

Thanks guys!! I watched "Napolean Dynamite" once and didn't crack a smile....for some reason I had to watch it again and glad I did! I guess it took me a while to get it.

Good spot and by the looks of it one that will keep on giving some goodies with a little elbow grease!

Thanks, Les and Al...I guess I'll soon don my long pants, bug spray, boots etc and head back into the jungle.
