Park Hunting

The woods are overgrown with unreal amounts of ferns and most of the fields are growing for the second cut, so off to the parks! Tues morning I hit a field that produced the ball button and buttons....then we got a soaking rain that night. Yesterday was like a dream in the park. :daydream:
I know where this hot spot is and have pounded it, first with my T2, then with my Nox, then with soaked ground and a better understanding of my Nox...almost all these coins were still in the ground after a shovel deep plug. To icing on the cake was the dew allowed me to hit EVERY inch!! It's amazing how much time it takes to cover a small area. :shocked01:
I spent a few hours in the morning, then went back after lunch...it was a glorious day!!:loveit:
Edit-This is comically similar to my last week's hunt!:lol:

Nice hunting Drew! Its blown me away too how much we miss and find on return visits. I've had the same experience in a couple small hot spots in that old zoo I hunt. One find was a walking half on like the 3rd or 4th visit that was only a couple inches down. Still dont know how I missed it!
 
WOW, great variety of coins and nice silvers too! Funny how different ground conditions can make finding coins easier or harder. Best wishes and HH, Dave.
 
Great results from a pounded site. The Nox gives me extra confidence at my old sites as well! Love the SLQ!
 
Nice hunt, always nice to pull coins from pounded sites, I laughed at your dew comment I too have used the power of the dew to insure I gridded the entire area I was hunting:)
 
Great finds Drew! Love the SLQ - I've never actually found one. How small was the area you scoured in the park yesterday? Makes me want to go back to a number of my more productive sites and slow down even more!

Love getting into the hot spots and returning to them to find more. It certainly pays to go in 3 directions when you find these spots. Congrats on a great park day!
 
There is something about an SLQ that always puts a smile on my face, even if it is a worn, dateless one. They are beautiful coins. You had a fantastic hunt in the park, Drew! I am amazed at how you've taken to that Nox.

:congrats:

I went back again the other day and only found a few wheats and a silver ring, so I guess I'm finally getting to the end of this park. Thanks, Dave!

I've only found a handful of SLQ, I think one is datable. Yeah, I do love my nox but I still don't know if I'm using the correct mode at most sites.

That was a special day, all the planets aligned and I was able to clean out that section...about 30 by 30 yards area.

For me it was the early snow! :lol:

I know, right! I love a dusting where you can see were you've been...but most times if the snow doesn't stick to your coil it's too cold for my little fingers to detect :lol:. When it's not too cold the snow sticks to the coil. Thanks, Chris!

It was a 30by30 yard area. It was the entrance to the visiting stands of a no longer used football field. There's lots more area but that spot was really productive. Thanks, John!

I went in concentric circles from the center. Maybe I should go strait lines one more time! Thanks!

I'm liking the nox, Tony...I have some work-arounds now for things like cans and such, but I've found the machine does all the work. You don't need to listen for bottle caps the machine filters them out!! I hardly EVER dig old nails! I learned how to hear nails/caps on the T2 but this machine does the work for you! Dummy proof...just the machine for me :lol: Thanks, Tony!

They are quite special for me too!! Thanks, Mike! I hope you're having a good summer!

Very nice hunt and you even find colonial buttons in parks!

I found one tombac there last year but those buttons were from a colonial field, Donnie. Thanks!
 
Such a nice haul there Drew. I also love the morning dew to help guide me. From what I have been reading...everybody loves their NOX
