A good reminder kind of hunt.:fisher:

Two buddies and I hit an old inner city park this morning that my Etrac buddy had hit a 54 Franklin half on right at the end of our hunt earlier in the week. 2 of us were swinging F 75 LTD's with the 5" coils and the other buddy was swinging his Etrac. Right off I hit the 49d Rosie and then for a good while all it was was clad, a few wheats and some trash, between us. Working our way out onto the field I got a bouncy high tone hit. Dug down about 4-5," flipped over the cold and determined the target was out of the ground. Found the target with the Pro pin pointer and with a little spit and gentle rub discovered the 1919 Buffalo nickel. Re-scanned the hole and got a screamer hit. Moved about a half inch of dirt around with the pin pointer and saw the edge of a big silver. Called my buddies over and then pulled the 48 Franklin half from the hole. We then had a round of Gator Aid. My Etrac buddy did snag a 39 Washington Quarter and several wheat backs. My sole wheat cent was a 1917. I also got what appears to be a lady bug pendent. I thought it was trash until I cleaned it up some. Anyway, todays hunt was yet another good reminder to always recheck those holes. One of my buddies did, too, and got 2 teens wheat cents.

That Franklin half is my dream coin...maybe one of these days I'll find one.:shrug:.there sure was a lot of silver dropped in that park, must have been an active place back after the war. Is the lady bug gold? Nice job!

Those old big city parks must have a ton of old coins buried, especially the east coast cities. Problem is, you'd need a couple dedicated armed perimeter guards to watch your back and gloves that can't be punctured by needles.
 
Jim you never let me down. Now I am excited about getting out there again. I always say to myself if he can do it, I can too.... Thanks for the inspirational posts..... Z
