Aug 9 Update - Little park gives up 4 more silvers !!!

[tonym]

OK - this is starting to get scary. Went back to the little park this morning after a good soaking rain overnight. Ended up hunting 2.5 hours.

I start hunting at exactly 8:30 am. Within 10 feet I had my first hit at 6" deep and I was sure it was silver. Boom - out pops a '42 merc.

I fill the hole and on my next swing, another sure silver hit at 6" deep. Boom - out pops a '39 merc.

I fill the hole and on my next swing, yet another sure silver hit at 6" deep. Boom - out pops a '48 rosie.

So I have been here for 8 minutes and have dug 3 silver on my first 3 plugs. Look at the picture and notice how far apart these plugs are. They can't be more than 10"-12" apart.

First time I have started a day this way.

For silver, I ended up with 1936, 1939, and 1942 mercs and a 1948 rosie dime. That makes 21 silver for August and 94 silver for year. I had 44 silver TOTAL in the previous 11 years.

Also picked up 3 wheaties ranging from 1941 to 1945. That makes 67 wheaties for August and 316 for the year. I had 270 wheats TOTAL in the previous 11 years.

This postage stamp sized park has now given me 36 silver and 155 wheats in my last 39 hours hunting there.

I think it's a magical park....and I want one! Every night the coin fairies come by and plant new silver. The question is: Will they plant 6 more before Sunday night? I'm sure hoping so.

It all comes down to Sunday Mike. I probably won't get out again until Sunday morning.
