I couldn't believe it when I looked out the window this morning. Almost all of our snow melted overnight. After highs in the upper 50s yesterday I was hoping that the ground would be thawed today and it was. I went on Google maps and made a list of 6 potential parks that I had ever hunted before, and by 11:00 a.m. I was out the door.
The first park I went to was a bust. No old coins at all after about an hour, plus there were some very foul-mouthed kids there. Time to move on.
The second park was in a town about 5 miles away from the first, and this park was a little bigger. I found a wheat cent within 2 minutes of turning on my E-Trac, then a Merc and a Rosie in quick succession. Aha, maybe a decent site!
I ended up hunting this park for about 4 hours and found 7 wheat cents, 2 Barber Dimes, 3 Mercury Dimes and a Rosie. Not a lot of coin signals but enough silver to keep me interested. It was a fun day!
Here are all of my coin finds for the day:
And the keepers after cleaning:
One of the wheats was a decent looking 1909:
Six silver coins makes for a fun hunt:
Nothing much in the relics department:
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
