Took a trip to my old hometown to see mom a day early for Mother's day, and naturally had to stop at my favorite old Seated park, to see if all the rain might bring a few keepers to light.
I wasn't there 2 minutes when I got a signal that sounded like silver and junk together. Flipped a plug and sure enough, 1902 Barber dime sitting right there. Checked the hole with my probe and sounded off again- rusty nail.
Went on to find the V-nickel shown- I can make out the 2 at the end of the date and that's about it- probably the worst V-Nick I've ever found. Also found 1890, 1893 and 1907 Indians in pretty much the same shape as the V, and a few other items, including the silver bell- looks like from a necklace or bracelet.
No seated today but this brings me up to 812 keepers from this park- I can't see making it to 1000, but when I hit 700, I thought it may be pretty well hunted out, so who knows.
HH all!
