I had a long day at work today tearing out fence braces and reinstalling the same braces along a road that was being used to drive a new prefab house down.......long story short, I decided I earned myself a quick 30 minute hunt in a small park in a small town along the way home.
I had been swinging for a good 15 min and not a single high tone on the etrac. I came across a spot that had a squeak of a tone and the only way I could get it to repeat was if I swung the detector back and forth quite quickly over it. When I was satisfied I had it pinpointed fairly well I dug the plug. I got down 6 inches and my pinpointer gave me the slightest beep. I dug down another 3 inches and out pops a silver looking coin. At first I thought it was a barber dime since I had dug one very near to the spot a couple years ago. I rubbed it a bit and noticed it was an old store token from Parshall, ND (a small town nearby).
After that I was jacked! Tokens are higher up on my list than silver!
I was going to take off since I still had about an hour to drive to get home......well, I decided just a bit more than I'll leave.
I went over and checked under a big pine tree which had recently been trimmed. I got a tone around what you'd get from an Indianhead so I was excited since I had dug a couple Indians in that corner of the park before. I dug down a good 6 inches and out pops another dirty silver looking coin. Token number 2 in less than 30 min! This one was dirty but after cleaning it I got it to shine just about like new! The first token cleaned up pretty fair but has some corrosion on it. I'll take it though!
This is the 3rd token from the Hagen & Erickson store that I've found in the town. The other two were good for $1.00. I'll include a picture of the last one I found with the one I found today.
