    Finally got out to detect and found silvers 1,2 and 3.

    The snow at last has melted enough to go digging again! I returned to the park where I had so much success at the end of last year for a little pre-work 2 hour hunt and went to the same little hilly area next to the baseball field that I found 7 silver coins. I must have scoured that hill a half dozen times last year and still it's producing. I found 2 Mercs (1917 and 1944), a 1957 Rosie, a 1920 Canadian penny and 16 wheaties, the earliest were 2 from 1918. Only found maybe 10 clad coins. I really slowed it down and dug anything that the V3i told me was good. Most of it was! Name:  photo.JPG

    Nice. I guess u like sledding spots... and that park. And guess you made it. I'm gonna make a lot better effort to get out tomorrow. That 1752 house is calling my name. Errands were a bit important today after work tho. Apparently the park is around as old as the school was.

    I think this was more
    of a ampitheater-type viewing area to watch the baseball games along with being a sledding hill. Which is fine with me!
