    The Park That Keeps On Giving

    Doug, Diane, Malachi and I met up with Micah a new friend for a Dayton Diggers group hunt. We met in an old park that is in between our locations and despite the drizzle we hunted for about an hour and a half. Micah found the only keeper there a silver ring. We decided to move on to the old park that the Bell-Two Crew have had much success at, what I like to call the “Giving Park”. Within minutes after getting there Doug had the first keeper an extremely worn Seated Liberty Dime. I had left a promising nickel signal to come over to film his find and no sooner I got back to digging my plug Micah had a keeper a beautiful Seated Dime, I went back to my nickel signal finished digging and what did I see? A very toasty Shield nickel! Diane then got on the board with a Buffalo and then Malachi got his keeper a 1947 Roosevelt Dime! Diane scored again with an 1889 Indian and then Doug got an 1880 Indian. Then Diane scored again this time with a 1906 Barber Dime, the girl was on fire. After more hunting it was time to go. On our way out to the car Doug got a signal and dug an 1894 Indian. I decided I needed to turn my detector back on too and I am glad I did for about 30 yards from the car I got my silver a 1944-D Merc. So we all got silver and all got an 1800's coin except for Malachi so a pretty good day for the crew.

    Great finds by everyone, Tony! I love the seated dimes, even Doug's extremely worn example.

    And I'm always amazed by shield nickels, as I've never found one. That was a really nice find for you.

    Congrats to all!

    Thanks Tony, I have never found a seated dime but now have two Shield Nickels, and realistically the Shields are more scarce! That now makes 7 Shield Nickels from that park that we have found in the last year!

    Rule #1...always detect on the way back to the car. What a great hunt you and your crew had, seated, Barbers, IH, shield, buff. No reason to change the name of that park. on all your keepers
