On my way home from the golf course on the 1st truly comfortable day to detect in a long time I decided to spend a few hours at a small (and I mean tiny) veteran's park on the way home. The park has a few war monuments on it and is probably 100' x 100' in size and is in the middle of town, so truly pounded. The sign said it was established in 1946. I found a 1939 Washington last year and rehunted it a few times and besides a few wheats found nothing else worthwhile. So I hunted it again, but this time used the "high trash" program on the V3i that was so successful at the golf course in the spring and really went slow. I was happy when the 1st Merc showed up so I gridded the surrounding 20' x 20' area and got the rest of the goodies. When I first got there I was detecting for no more than 5 minutes when a fellow detector pulled over and we talked for about 20 minutes about detecting and I mentioned that I was here to kill some time and probably wouldn't find much. Of course he mentioned that no place is ever hunted out and I had to agree with him. He left and my first signal was the Merc. So I guess he was right lol. And I guess a return trip is in order.
