Thread: Saturday Silver

  1. #1

    Saturday Silver

    Went back to the park I hunted yesterday. But today, I was armed with 5 full hours of search time.

    Many keepers came up.


    Also scored a first for me.


    Plus a nice token from a neighboring town.

    That is some serious silver you're pulling outta that park. I gotta be happy with one silver (sometimes none).
    That's a nice old Canadian dime. I found a 1919 this year and couldn't tell what it was as i had no glasses with me. lol

    That's a cool token too! Yer killing those parks, keep it up.

    I'd love to hit 200... but I don't think there is enough time left this year. crying01 Makes me wish
    I would have got out more in July when the heat and humidity were off the charts.

    Thanks Angie. I do like the token as well. Apparently Judge Dyer is, of course, the founder of Dyersville.
