    Wed Park Project Outing

    I went out for about four hours yesterday over lunch and after work. Yesterday’s hunt was not quite as productive as Tues, but still some great finds that I am happy with. Five silver, two tokens, Shield Nickel (no date yet), 1 IH and 20 wheats. HH!!

    Minelab Equinox 600 & Whites Coinmaster, Garrett Propointer, Lesche Digger
    Oldest silver: 1853 Half-dime & 1876S Seated Quarter / Oldest coin: 1849 US Large Cent / 1854 Upper Canada One Penny Bank Token

    A shield Nik! Man! another barber! I woke up today thinking of detecting because I am planning to go out tonight...my second thought was "I wonder what Milco found yesterday?"

    You need to post a pic of all the finds once they finish the park project...you have to be approaching 50 silvers!
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife
    (probably should have started with that one)

    Thank you! This is the craziest thing ever! I will definitely be posting a summary of everything later, but this project won’t be complete until the fall.

    The Fall? Wow this is one of those opportunities we all dream about. I had a similar event happen at a lake/beach site where a dam had to be fixed and the lake had to be lowered which exposed about 100 or more feet of beach. The dam fix lasted about 2 months. I found about 25 silver rings and about 4-5 gold items too. Fun times!
