A few from yesterday

Took a little road trip yesterday to a park I'd been wanting to hit since I moved back within driving range. It's only a little over an hour drive from the house.
Took some great pictures of the old place but until I can hammer it pretty good ... well, I'll just wait on posting those shots :)
Nothing fantastic .. but for only 3 hours of scouting, hunting and talking with the locals I think this place shows promise.
First off I hit a spot that was loaded with clad, then as I walked towards a stream and started hitting wheaties, a war nickel, a merc, and then 2 rosies in the same hole and another war nickle.
The 2 washingtons were found on a walking trail about 20' apart and pretty shallow, maybe 3" deep.
This Franklin half was on the outside edge of some dirt that was pilled up and was 7-8" deep on edge when I dug it, had tar all over it but cleaned up nice.
Well that's it for now, hope all you fine folks have a GREAT THANKSGIVING :)

Good Hunting
Mike
 
Not a bad hunt Mike! Sounds like you have some solid leads on another field of dreams! Good luck, and Happy Hunting Grounds,

Savage.
 
Hey Yooper, You will, I have found only one so far, 41 walking liberty at Navy Point. Mike knows where that is. It had been subjected to salt water for years and was black & rusty. When all else failed I used mothers chrome and metal polish. Two beers later,:drinking:it was gleaming. Happy Hunting Grounds,

Savage.
 
Very well done! I take the Park is a good sized one and if it is, I think you are going to be spending a lot of time there. I wish I could find a Franklin Half yet this year but the chances are pretty slim. I have 8 Halves this year alone but I have yet to find a Franklin since I first got the Explorer XS in Fall 2001. Great looking bunch of coins Mike and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving yourself. Good Luck and HH.
 
Nice finds. I found my first Franklin Half a couple weeks ago. It's great finding those big silver coins.
 
WTG Mike, nice batch of silver.

Snowy :tongue:
