Had big fun, one of those infrequent sites. I knew well ahead the date the newplayground was to be erected, but what about the prep? I visited the site last week, no activity. Getting down to the wire, i chanced the 30 min drive yesterday. Pulling in to the park i see plenty of fresh dirt. Asked the park worker when it happen and he said "yesterday". This is a well hunted park in a historic area, here im looking at about perhaps a 70 by 40 ft swath, taken down about 4 or 5 inches. I started hunting the site and after about 20 mins I realized i had to start over. What i was thinking was trash was actually wheat. The wbs were signaling like 57-62 or 64 on my f75 ltd. There are other parks where wbs for me will id even up into the 90s for their good metal contents. The crews starting some other prep work about noon but where totally into letting me be there. They redid a drainage trench off to one side, letting me detect down in the trench (no big results there). i just kept out of their way. I was moving at a pace, having to be somewhere later, and also not knowing if they where going to dig areas i hadnt detected yet. Was banking the coins in my pocket quickly with the dirt and all. Anyway managed 34 wheat backs, ( a new single hunt record for me) earliest, 1909 some clad, no jewelry, no nickles and 5 silvers (3 mercs from the 30;s, a rosie and a 45 washington quarter) Got sunburned too. Check out this odd part, i swear it looks kind of like a very old gun part, any input on that? could it be ? It is of substantial weight and well made, there is a horizontal like shaft,with some graduated cuts, off the back of the roundish part, which you cant see in the picture. Thanks all for looking. Have some good sites lined up in the near future. CO
