Glen Oak Park

[gregD]

has anyone ever hunted Glen Oak? I was out there the other day and found a bunch of old trails in the woods that have fallen apart and grown over.....some old concrete and stone bridges etc.

anyone ever go out there? may have to hit that up one of these days after work

Yes, many have hunted it and many have found old coins and relics. Is it hunted out? I really don't think so. They're tails of seeing a female working at the oldest profession there also.

Lol...that wouldnt surprise me. Peoria has so many old places its hard to decide where to go sometimes!

Lower Glen Oak has been hunted hard but certainly not hunted out. Some very nice old coins have come from there not to mention hundreds of civil war era bullets. I hunted there a couple of weeks ago and that is where I found the bullet, silver dime and gold ring...... on the trail that goes to the left of where you described Greg. If you can make the meeting tonight, we can tell you more about it and the Civil War camp that used to be near there.

Now if you have a 6:30am meeting on a saturday or sunday I'll come!!!!

Sure sounds like you have your hands full but Eureka is not that far..... right across the street from us

 

[gregD]
