Hunted a local park Friday morning for about the 6th time. I managed to pull two Wheaties. I use an ATP. The silver coins still elude me. I have yet to find my first.

Keep at it...if you are hunting an older park and you are finding all of those coins then I bet there will be some silver there somewhere.
