    Park Project Hunts - Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues - 50th Silver

    Hello All! Well, it's been a good run on this re-grading project. The work is done, but there will still be about 5-7 days yet of hunting and everyone is taking advantage of it, but the finds are getting fewer as now more than a dozen guys have been pounding this project daily.

    Here are pictures of my finds from hunts the past four days. This morning I went from 6-8:30am and found a 1957 Rosie which was my 50th silver coin from this park project. It has been an awesome bunch of fun getting to know fellow detectorists and make some great finds along the way.

    I'm not sure we will get everyone to share, but working towards getting some totals from everyone.

    Yes, this has been an amazing opportunity indeed! I am not sure what everyone has pulled out of here, but it must be quite a list. Most everyone share in each others finds, but some run more solo. If I had to take a guess, there must be 250+ silver coins taken out of here so far by the group.

    I am guessing this rates as your #1 tear our (project) hunt. Those recoveries are beyond belief as to what that grading uncovered. I have a couple of places in mid I would love to see the upper foot taken off. Thanks for posting all your hunts as it was amazing to follow day after day. WD
    Total silver 3 - Goal 50 (2024 Finds) - 0 Washington - 0 Barber Dimes - 0 Mercury Dimes- - 3 Roosevelt Dimes - 0 V Nickels - 0 Buffalos - 0 War Nickels - 0 Indian - 10 Wheats - $ 3.44 in clad
    Relics: MILESTONES since 2012: 1700 silver coins - 8000 Clad Quarters - 500 Roosevelts - 750 Mercury Dimes
