New Spot Pays Off

Anytime I am driving around town, I look for good locations to go metal detecting.  Last week I noticed some carnival in a city park and made a metal note to go try it sometime.  Last night I had a hour and a half so went and gave it a quick try.  Much of what I tried was littered with iron, and difficult to detect through it.  I knew the park was old because of the size of many of the trees.  A plaque talk about construction in the park in the 1930's.

I need to go back when I have a little more time, but I did manage to find another Mercury Dime dated 1918 about 9 or 10 inches deep.
