Island hopping locates the Dirty Dozen

[Digger_O'Dell]

After finding the wheats and IH yesterday I went back this morning to hunt the parking lot islands at the park. It seems a couple sections were untouched for a very long time and obviously never hunted. :wow: My first taste of "virgin" ground and it was awesome! I just kept getting one signal after another. In total I found 11 wheats and a well circulated 1919 Merc.

Congrats on going back and hitting the islands. Hunting virgin ground doesn't get any better.

Thanks Al, just wish I could find more places like that!

Nice finds Chris, hard to find areas with multiple old wheats. Nice finds. WD

Congrats on the nice hunt at virgin grounds! I bet there is more there. Good job on the 12 wheat cents and the 1919 Merc!

:congrats:

A job well done. :congrats:

I can not recall the last time I swung a coil over virgin territory.

This was only my second time at a virgin site, more or less. The first time was also my first real hunt where I got the 26 Merc 2 Barber dime spill. I didn't appreciate finding a place like that as much then as I do now!

Nice score on some silver. Sometimes it pays to figure out which areas were untouched. I was listening to the Wise last night and he had said he scored by checking this area that was a cart path that the last person at that cellar just completely overlooked.
