Safari summer 2009 at hunted out park part 2

I wrote earlier that there are 2 areas in the park I concentrated my hunting. These photos in part 2 (with the exception of a couple of coins) were all found in the second area. This area produced a lot of finds and it still does produce. I have slowed down my pace to a crawl and changed to the 6" excel coil. Enjoy!
 
The 2 seated dimes are my first...same park, same area, same dates...sweet.
I never heard of the gambling game "Pull and Take" until found the spin top and did the research. I saw the same spin top for $65 on ebay.
1916, 1924 Buffalo and 1910, 1904 V nickles. I lost count on the wheaties.
 
The Captain Midnight decoder is pretty neat, I think it is from the early thirties. I don't about the token because of the wear on the one side. The button looks Japanese but not sure. Any ideas?
 
Umm...can I come over to your house to play? LOL

Those are some awesome finds. You definitely have a great site to detect. What state were these found in? I'm guessing East Coast because of the LCs you've found.

Keep 'em coming!

That's a great group of finds, especially from a couple of areas in a single park! It sounds like you are finding more targets by using a very slow sweep speed. Is that because masking other objects?

Thanks,
Bart
 
I live in western NY and these finds are from the oldest park in my area. I was very surprised to find the LCs because the park is not that old. I think it was a nursery in the late 1700s and left idle for many years later. I started the areas with a medium sweep and because of the finds I've gone to a slow sweep. I am now only using the 6" excel. coil. I went back today for an hour and sniffed out 2 wheaties and a IH between junk. I can only imagine what else is hidden. I am assuming if other hunters missed those big old LC at that site there must be smaller coins missed as well. I will finish my year at those sites...very slow. I have had my Safari since late May so I would love some tips on these sites from the more experienced Safari users.
Can anyone identify the button with the eagle?

Thanks for looking.

John those are some great finds, you have a great place to hunt. Nice to swing an area that can produce such a wide variety of coins. If you've fund that much there's still quite a haul to be taken if you go very slow.
 
I'd say some of the Safari users should ask you for help instead! I hunt a "hunted out" park just a ways from my wife's doctor's office when I take her in for an appointment. I don't have much time but I have found a few goodies someone else missed. But believe me it is nowhere as good as you have been doing. Keep at it! Onus
