Hey folks, these are my finds for the week. I did two hunts at my turn of the century park. That is where every silver coin came from except for one 1941 Merc you see pictured. I also had a couple hunts, one very short, at a plowed farm field, that was once an 1860's picnic grove. This place has been hammered to near death. There are very few signals in this massive field. This place has been hunted for years, but every once in a while you could get a nice time period coin or relic here. I dug an 1862 Fatty IH penny at this place, a really nice 1865 2 cent piece my second ever. I rarely ever hunt farm fields or places with mid 19th century history by the way. I also dug a small star shaped piece that says Boyd's Battery on it, which is from right around the picnic grove's time period. I looked it up and it turned out to be a piece of history from the time period, an electro-therapeutic medical medallion, that was used as a possible cure for certain medical problems at the time. I also dug a 1959 Jefferson nickel, that has been shot with a bullet and the bullet was still lodged in the middle Neat!!! We also tried a new farm field on the other side of town for a brief period before going to the 1860s grove. There I found a 1911 V Nickel, and two buttons, one is a flat button with the shank missing, and the other an old postman's button that says P.O.D. on it and has a mailman on the front. Anyway everything else you see in the pictures was found at the turn of the century park. I will continue to check on this park until it doesn't give me anymore goodies. Thanks for looking everyone, and HH!
