When I first started detecting local parks, I wasn`t sure what the reactions would be from people that saw me, so far it has been positive. People that have talk to me, have only asked if I had found anything interesting, or even suggested places to hunt. Yesterday, at a town park near my home, I was approached by a town employee cutting the grass. He asked me if I had found anything interesting, just some clad and trash I told him, then he said I should hunt the ball diamond, which I had been treating as off limits to detecting. Not any more, I started hunting the diamond as soon as he finished cutting the grass, only had about an hour before I had to leave. I found some clad in that hour, but it was also nearly trash free. Looks like rain here today and tomorrow, but when it quits, I will be back to give that diamond a real going over. The rest of the park is littered with trash. This town park has been there for years, we hold are Progress Day Festival with carnival ride, food concessions, beer tent, and many big baseball tournaments. I have not found anything of great value, but I am pulling the clad from 6, so I feel I am improving by finding good targets fairly deep with trash all around. I feel this site has some potential. I think the silver is down there, I just have to listen to my detector for those suttle silver sounds. I found a Commonwealth of the Bahama`s penny yesterday, not valuable, but unusual for me. They also mint cheap pennies like the USA.

the clad looks pretty deep in some areas but i'm pretty confident your gonna hit some silver soon . the pictured coin is a cool design and a nice piece from the normal clad.
