Got out Sunday morning for a couple of park hunts in the town across from me. jl1252 had mentioned a tear out and found some silvers and buffs there so figured I’d try my hand (thank you Jeff!). I got there and the area was fully fenced in but... there was one spot where I could lay down and shimmy under the fence
It was slow going not finding much - then at one end I found my first ever Buffalo nickel it’s incredibly toasted but I could make out it was a buff so I was stoked! Still am .
Also found my first play money coin: 10 PLAY DOUGH coin, and two wheats - one so toasted gone I could barely tell it was a wheat cent. I gave it a hot hydrogen peroxide bath in an attempt to get a date but it just got worse.
Found a horse shoe, a set gopher trap(!), couple bullets and 22 short shells, a junk ring, button, maybe a lead seal(?) and some old pocket knife pieces.
Was a fun morning, was good to finally get out again!
