Hit an old spot early this morning, 5:30, in hopes of beating some of the other early morning risers. Although I did get in a good hour and a half before I was converged upon, not a really good hunt as I was hurrying knowing the joggers, runners and dog walkers would be coming soon. Shortly after getting started, I eyeballed a channel lock pliers in some tall grass. Shortly there after a grounds keeper came zipping along on his golf cart as was picking up branches. I flagged him down and asked him if this was their pliers. He said "yes," I lost it yesterday. As it turned out, it was my best find of the morning...save for a 58 wheatie. All you fathers out there have a great weekend and FATHERS DAY. HH jim tn

Hey Jim,
Great story. I am taking some advice and on your story because you really don't hear of things like that these days. That is the one thing I love about this hobby: We are all pretty much conservative (Rep or Dem), still married, still willing to help someone, etc and look at this hobby more like therapy...
Thanks for sharing that with all of us. We need to hear things like that during these times...

I can sympathize with you Jim, was at the middle school early this morning and right at 8:00 am about 40 cars came rolling in and 60 hyper kids came jumping out about to play soccer .
So much for the quiet morning solitude
Nice going on the tool return I'm sure the deed will come back to you.
And have a happy father's day as well.

Bet that groundskeeper won't be shoo'ing you away
from the park........nice deed.
from the park........nice deed.Thanks guys. The grounds keepers on this site are good with me sniffing around early. There are two of them and usually stop to see what I have found. When I showed one guy the 1840 o Seated dime I had found one morning last month, the first thing out of his mouth was, "how much do those swinging things cost and how much is that coin worth?" Anyway, they know I neatly cover my holes and leave the place cleaner then I found it.
I hit a middle school tonight that has a couple of acres of soccer fields and one baseball diamond. It has been a clad mine since I started hunting it earlier this spring and am about to consider it a silver mine, too. I found a mid size silver ring tonight and from this site alone, that is the 6th silver ring I have found there this year and also 2 silver Religious medals and a Tiffany & Co silver bracelet pad lock. The ring came in at 83-84 and was 3" deep. The Omega really is a silver hound. HH jIm tn

I work with some of the Channellock guys on occasion, the story is, one of their production guys invented that slip lock design so he could change out dies on their presses faster, and not have to carry all sorts of wrenches...they are a good bunch of folks, and their tools become like family...I have a pair of their side cutters that reside in my tool box with a hole blown into both jaws from cutting a hot wire, I still use them, and they remind me me "the power is always on" even if somebody says its not! Your getting some sweet finds Jim!
