Today was a busy honey do day so didnt manage to get out the house on my own until 2:00, sun sets 4:05…… Decided to go to older school (but still current) with city park behind it. Been there before and had good luck finding a couple silver coins and a couple silver rings. Felt like digging coins for the two hours and coming home with more than a sub dollar amount.
Started out and some kid wandered up and got inquisitive, nice kid so let him tag along. He was mostly interested in the pennies and the difference between zincs and coppers. He asked to keep the pennies so I let him have those. He asked if whatever I dig next could he have and I said sure unless it was silver. Hit a 2007 quarter and he said “hey thats my birth year”. I thought to myself go away……. Then I dug a dog tag for rabies dated 2007 so Merry Christmas kid. He left after that but again he was a really young man so no harm.
Next I notice an older guy shadowing me, he finally wandered over and started a conversation. “Place has been all cleaned out” he told me. Said he detects and has seen several guys with detectors combing the area pretty hard. Well, I already had the dog tag and the quarter and 4-5 copper pennies so obviously not cleaned out. What ever dude……
I swear he wasnt gone 3-4 minutes when I hit a solid half dollar signal so dug in hoping. At 6-8” it might be good! Well I’ll be damned, a silver dime and silver quarter in the same hole just a tiny bit apart!!!! Yes, jkline and I both been in this park and no we wouldnt have ignored that type of signal. So to the other guy, whatever dude!!!!! Lol
Also dug a ring that was pretty gunked up so probably junker but it is heavy so curious now. Currently soaking and will clean it up carefully

When I hear this, I hit the area even harder 😂
Nice finds Mr. Ron !!
 
Sounds like the guy was hoping you would leave after hearing his input because he still wanted to hunt it some more himself. Good 2 silver hunt. All the 49 Rosies (P,D,S) are some of the less common dates. Nice!
 
Ring update: Not a ring 😟. I’m thinking it was some type of bearing, there is a groove along the inside of the band a small crimp along one side of the “ring”.

Down my way, when I recover a what's it piece similar to that, I tell my somewhat novice hunting buddy its a piece off a Civil War Cannon. He must be wising up, though, as he stated the other day that I must have a whole cannon in my back yard by now. HH jim tn

I don't think areas are really ever hunted out, especially when a lot of others just dig on the VDI numbers, I get it with carp fishing all the time, "they don't take off the surface on this water mate" and you end up catching loads of fish using that method, there's so many variations in detecting technique between individuals and the way they use their machines, good targets are always there to varying degrees
 
Congrats on the silver in a hunted out park. I have had that same thing happen to me in a park, only to see him again in the park with his female partner a short time later.
 
I've been told the park was hunted out once and then dug a wheatie 5 min. later. So yeah, whatever dude!
Congrats

On hard worked spots, I find its often the iffy signals passed over countless times that turn out to be good recoveries. The ripest fruit gets plucked first, then the not so ripe, and so on, and the last pluck turns out to be a nice juicy one. HH jim tn
 
I love "hunted out" areas. About 6 weeks ago I got the opportunity to hunt a relative's (wife's side) property. I was told that it would be a waste of my time since it had been hunted hard over the years and there isn't anything left.

It isn't a large yard, and I still haven't hunted all of it, but I found $3.11 in clad (nothing newer than the mid 1980's). Also found a 1959 (silver) quarter. No zincolns, the pennies found were copper. One coin spill (87 cents) helped the total quite a bit. I also found a number of the old type of aluminum bottle caps - most of which were smashed flat. Way less trash than I typically hunt. No iron to speak of - that I remember anyway. Most targets were less than 6 inches down. The 1959 quarter was only 4 inches deep - don't know how it could've been missed if the yard truly was heavily hunted.

I was using my Apex. One of these days I'll go back with the Deus or Orx to see what I missed with the Apex. Probably follow that by hunting the yard with my Anfibio - to see if I missed deeper targets.

Jim I'm with you 100% on that, to be honest I'm more interested in the iffy signals than the obvious ones
