alright so i took a couple days off to make a 4 day weekend with the intent to dig hopefully 2 of those days. well it's sunday and i finally get out, pathetic! anyways i head out to a town called fircrest, which is about 20 min down the freeway. beautiful town and dates back to early 1900s. in this park over the last couple yrs i have found a few nice silver pieces of jewelry and my first merc dime. that was the only silver, or really old coin i've pulled from this spot. so today i decided to hit the tot lots and after nothing but clad i hit the area where my merc was found. after about 30 min of more clad i was calling it a day. for some reason the utility strip was calling me and hunted down about a block when i got a 41-42 signal that was super steady. to me this means foil every time but i dug it a low and behold...... GOLD! up pops this gold heart stamped 10k and some makers marks from roughly 3" deep. i'm so glad i didn't give up before and kept at it a bit longer. after the heart i found a 54 d wheat, which was just a inch under the grass. i'm thinking that was a recent drop and not far from the wheat got a strange, jumpy signal. dug that and found a modern 5 cent euro coin. glad i made it out and really happy to find some gold again. i know i've been over that exact signal in the past but never dug it. so here's to digging it all cause you just never know!!!!!
