I was cleaning up files on my computer and came across another hunt from this past fall. It was in an area of my old park that I had been eyeballing for some time. It's the grassy area behind a parking lot above where an old football field is. I covered about a 40'x20' section. There's still a ton of area left but I was getting kind of nervous and constantly looking over my shoulder. I'll probably hit the area again when things thaw out and will have to go early in the morning. Take a look at the video and please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!

Enjoyed your video. Glad you reminded folks of the potential dangers out there. Jim

Best time I have found to hit the "ghetto parks" (as you referred to them), or, any park in a bad/questionable neighborhood seems to be early on Sunday mornings. The 'party hardy' folks are usually out late on Saturday night and sleep in on Sunday mornings. It's, also, a good idea to wear some loose fitting headphones that allow you to hear noises from your surrounding area. I have some full cup Sun Pro's that block out all but the loudest ambient noises, which are great for hunting around traffic or construction, but, NOT in lonely areas with predators......four legged or two!

Stay safe.......

luv ghetto parks. lots of good ole coins to be found cause most people are to scared to detect them. only bad part is the trash

I know what you mean with the trash! Don't do any dirt removal with your hands, even with gloves! I have found live bullets, uncapped syringes, razor blades and other dangerous stuff in the tot lots! I have to admit, I did find one of my best silver rings in one of those parks. Most of the time, the people are quite friendly and just curious about what you are doing. I have had the "stare downs" from groups of gang bangers, but, they have never given me any trouble. I'm too old to compete, especially with a group.........that's why I carry an equalizer.

I have to agree, that Sampson would be a bad mammy-jammer in a confrontation!

 

[saltersnatch]

the nice thing is it ensures a confrontation won't happen, and i don't have to try to be a badass lol
