My usual after work park seems to have dried up on me, my last several hunts there produced only two wheat cents and some clad, so this week I moved on. I remembered a park in another town where I had found an Indian Head a couple of months ago but not much else, so I decided to try it again.

Last night I found two more Indian Heads, a couple of wheat cents and a Rosie. Tonight I found two Mercury Dimes and another Rosie. All of the silver has been in a bare dirt area next to where the cars park. Easy digging and I don't have to worry about killing the grass. lol

Here is the 1900 Indian Head, it is bent slightly:
62479

And a 1908 Indian Head, only my second 1908 IH ever:
62480

1919 Mercury Dime (no mint mark):
62481

1934 Mercury Dime (again no mint mark):
62482

Both of the Rosies are dated 1953, one is a D and the other is an S:
62483

Group shot:
62484

I was happy to hit 40 Indian Heads for the year, and pleasantly surprised to find four silvers in a public park. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Awesome background for your pictures, it works very well.

Thanks, Joe. It's just a piece of cardboard. Not very high tech. lol

Looks great though. My background is just a big rusty building plate I dug awhile back. Simple is the best. thumbsup01

hi, Tony :yes:
Good hunting. Silver is always nice. In every country ...
Tony - we are happy people. Do you know why?
Just imagine if we, you and I were born and lived in central africa.
What do we do? ))) N hunted rhinos and crocodiles? <}
And the art we find it necessary for a metal detector (no idea where they find an outlet to recharge the batteries :thinkingabout: )
I think we would go on the hunt to the east, in Somalia, to collect shells and bullets from ak -74 <}

Congratulations to Friend
