Alec and I headed out this morning to hit a couple of parks we found on Google Earth. The first one we arrived just as the sun was coming up. I hunted solo. Alec opted to sleep a little longer. I hunted that park for an hour and the only coin I dug was a 1907 V Nickel. Nothing else, no clad, no memorials, nothing but pull tabs and the one nickel.
We moved on to the second town which had a large wooded park. We were there maybe 10 minutes and I dug a buffalo nickel.
A half hour later i dug another V nickel. I joked with Alec about all the nickels we've been finding and said where are all the silvers. Not 5 minutes later, I hear "DAD,DAD,DAD,DAD" as he's motioning me to come over. I knew it had to be good. IT WAS . His first Seated coin, an 1887 Seated Dime. In nice shape too!!
Anyway, after that, I dug a Buffalo nickel and that was it for me.
Alec also got a 4 wheat coin spill, 2 Indians and a Buff to finish out the day.
Another great day hunting with my son. :grin:
