Another Day At The Old Park

[Bell-Two]

Went out today with my nephew Paul to a couple of parks, the first one just produced some clad so we decided to head to the "Old Park" to see if we can squeeze a few more goodies out of it before the weather locks us out. We had barely been there 5 minutes when Paul had a jumpy dime signal on his E-Trac and when he dug it he got a 1941 Merc with a piece of iron right next to it in the hole! So we were on the board. I came up with a couple of wheaties both of which were "clean and green" a 1917 and a 1918. Paul also found a few wheaties and then closed the day with a 1888 Indian Head, the first we have dug there, I knew there had to be some there. It was in 4" of tough fill type dirt and very hard to dig and so unfortunately he gave it a nick, but hey we have all done that haven't we!

Fantastic Hunt! That's a reminder to dig the 'Old Parks' and 'Properties' we've often by-passed thinking they'd be hunted out.
