Alec and I decided to travel a couple of hours from home this morning to do some Park hunting.
We were at the first park for about half an hour when Alec dug his first good target, a 1930 Buffalo. 20 minutes later, a 1945 Merc. He finished the park off with a small button that was down about 9 inches. I dug a 1945-P War nickel and a 1914-D Wheat Cent. Alec told me he was pretty sure it was a Key Date, so we looked it up on e-Bay. Yep, pretty nice find.
The second park was small, about the size of average back yard. Alec started along the sidewalk. In his first twenty feet, he dug a 1944 Washington and a 1926 Merc. He also found a shell casing right next to a veterans memorial. I dug a few more wheats and a beat up Tax Token.
Another great day out with my son.
