Metal detected a park yesterday that I thought was a fairly 'modern' park. Apart from a silver ring and bunches of modern clad coins from 2 previous hunts, I did not have any expectations of anything more than that.
Anyway, I spoke to an old-timer (must have been 70 plus) and he informed me he used to play on this park when he was a kid and it could be 80 to 100 years old!! A little later, I got a silver signal 38-39 and I dug this mercury 1939 silver dime from 8 inches deep. Not worth much and I normally wouldn't have posted this coin but I was surprised at the condition of it. I just used soapy water to clean it by the way. I hope to dig many more silvers from this park!!!
