2 Parks in the Same Town Nets Silver And Digger Al's Oldest Coin
Alec and I hunted a couple of parks in the same town today. Both were from the 1830s so we had high hopes. As usual, they were obviously hunted to death but we managed a few nice finds. At the first park I hit a 5 Quarter spill near the surface. they just kept coming. all state quarters and all different states. After I filled the hole, I checked it one more time, about a foot away I got another 12-47 about 2" deep. This time it was a 1942 Washington. Go figure. about a half hour later I dug a 1943 Merc. Alec dug 3 Wheats. we hunted that park for about 2 1/2 hours and decided to move across town.
At the second park i dug a Token the size of a penny. It read," Stereoscopic pictures & instruments for sale. " and 4 Wheats.
Alec dug a very nice 1864 Indian Head Penny right next to a Civil War monument that was erected in 1866 and another wheat.
This is the oldest coin he's dug so far.
