Went to my church picnic this morning. We had some heavy rain, but it stopped just before the picnic started. A friend and I did a few hours of forest hunting after lunch. I stumbled across a good spot and found 1920 and 1942 Mercury dimes within a few feet of each other. In between the two dimes was a barely recognizable 1911 Liberty Nickel. Several feet away from those coins was a 1942-P War Nickel and a few wheat cents. I can't get a date on the pennies though. That forest dirt left them pretty crusty. My last find of the day was a 1911 Barber Dime in VF-20 condition. The picnic grounds has been in use since the early 1890's, possibly earlier. Through conversation with one of the groundskeepers we found out that a friend of the caretaker's was given permission to hunt there for seven years. That place is pretty big, so I'm sure there are a lot of good targets left to be found. Its been of limits for detecting for many years now. I'll have to find out who the current caretaker is and try and get permission. There's about 600 feet of woods between the picnic area and the cliffs along the beach and it was easy to get permission to hunt that area. My friend found a 1943 quarter and a few wheat cents. That 1942 dime looks like its about AU-55 condition, the nicest I've found in a long time.
