Safari Hunt Today

[Metaldetective1975]

Hi,

Just went to a city park and had about 3 hours to hunt (trying to gain more Safari experience). I started at the basketball courts, and never left...
While just covering the inner perimeter, I nabbed 89 coins, including my first ever Sacajewea Dollar coin, and also a men's gold wedding ring (no personal engraving on it). There were at least 5 separate spills of at least 4 coins (one had 12 pennies, and another had 8 mixed nickels, dimes and quarters).
I am finally getting the hang of the Safari sounds and signals. After 4 trips with it, I am finally confident with it (maybe that helped a bit today).
I have always had good luck around basketball courts, since shirts, jackets, etc. are slung to the ground before play begins.
Apparently, no one had hunted these courts in quite awhile. If they had, they surely would have gotten these coins. I do know that others hunt that park...

Congrats, on a great hunt, a lot of digging

Good Hunt!

I have often found that there are overlooked areas in the most heavily hunted parks. Try everything in heavily hunted areas cause something like this may pan out for you.

Thanks... I'll bet that other detectorists may have passed by the basketball courts thinking that this very obvious place must have already been hunted to death. Hah!
I'll be going back there very soon to finish the courts, but expanding 6 feet or so out and away from the perimeter. Then there's the baseball field with bleachers....Hmmm...

Gotta love the Safari
