Sunday Hunt with BruceT & Tony Two-Cent

[Digger Don]

Tony Two-Cent, DiggerAl and I were invited down to hunt a few parks in BruceT's hometown. We hit three parks. The first one, I managed just one Wheatie. The second one, I dug a 1945 Merc and a rifle shell casing. It still amazes me how many shotgun shells & shell casings I find in public Parks. The third, 2 more Wheats. Not my most productive day but any day with silver is a great day. Thanks to BruceT for showing us around his town and buying us lunch. We had a great time. Tony, as always a pleasure.

On the way home, I stopped at one more park that had a mound of dirt about 100 yards long. It looked like they just dug up a water line. I just got finished going down one side and back up the other when a guy pulls up on an ATV and tells me that they don't allow metal detecting in their parks. I apologized, packed up my gear and left. With a 1953 Rosie and 1 more wheat in my pocket. The mound was much longer than the photo shows, I took it as I was driving away.
All in All, Another great day hunting with my Son & friends.

Wow Don that Mercury dime has very nice detail great finds.... I've been on a two week drought with no silver but just gotta keep swinging HH

Nice hunting and finds. No metal detecting but they allow ATV's????? Actually the replacing of the water pipe did more damage than you did. But rules are rules......

Great finds. I agree with Al about the ATV and the water pipe... and with MDing we put the grass back so it doesn't need re-seeding like a water pipe replacement does. Most of the time here it's opposite. Most parks don't have any restriction on MDing (tho some do) yet almost every park I have been to say either no motor vehicle allowed or past this point.

Congrats on the silver and unfortunately, more and more public places are off limits. I almost want to ask the next elected official his or her stance on metal detecting Make it a public issue Some of those shell casings may come in with fill dirt.
