    Short After Work Hunt

    I got off work early today. So I stopped at a small park on the way home. I've hunted this park before with a little success. I hunted for about an hour and a half. And made a few good finds. I found a small heart shaped sterling silver locket, a nice green 1917 wheatie. Just before I had to leave I got a nice 12-45 at 3 inches and out popped a 1920 Merc!








    As alway thanks for lookiin' & HH

    Thanks Christian! Better results than I was expecting!
    Maybe I'll have to give this spot a little more attention.
