Hi all,
I got out for the day on Tuesday until the rain came in and didn't do too bad. First park I hit was a total waste of time, not even a single clad to be found. But then I moved over to a huge old park I have been wanting to hit for quite a while. It used to be the zoo and dates back to around 1896. I suspected it was likely hunted hard early on before the area got overrun by drug dealers and hookers. I was hoping that since the area has been on the mend a bit all would be ok. Sure enough, lots of joggers and dog walkers, a few city workers and a motorcycle cop. No ghetto rats-great sign!
I wasn't there more than 30 minutes before I found my first wheatie of the day- a 1934. A while later I got a nice 12-45 signal at about 2 inches. Expecting a quarter I was very surprised when I popped out an old silver ring! Very worn and no markings, but still nice.
Things went quiet for a few hours, just lots of clad. Some zincolns even ended up at 7 to 8 inches down! But I moved closer to the pond area and between a couple walkways I got a sketchy 12-43 at 6 inches. Figured it was a clad dime I was in for a nice surprise when I saw a silver rim. Finally, a 1942D Merc in my pouch!
After that it was only one more 1958 wheatie, more clad, and a .40 Cal hollow point slug. Ended up with $3.66 in clad for the day.
Close-up pics of the ring I got last outing Dell asked for.
