    Park Project Hunt - July 29th - Finally hit GOLD!!

    I was heading home from a street tearout hunt after work out of town. I had a little bit of daylight left yet, so I decided to stop back at the park project tonight and continue with my gridding the area where there was once a ballfield. I was glad I did, five minutes in I dug the war nickel. Then I dug a faint chirp and hit the Barber dime at about 7-8" after retrieving a nearby nickel near the surface. I found the big mens gold ring near the edge of the grass, rang up a solid 13 (just like a nickel) on the Nox. Here is a picture of everything I dug tonight, the coins and then the ring. HH!
