It was a ... hmmmm.... let's call it a "relicky" site
2 seated dimes from the 1860s, and a pesky 1900 barber dime. Was a close friend of mine. As for robots being allowed north of Santa Barbara : Absolutely not ! haha
But seriously now: I was just at a park yesterday in Napa, CA, that's been pounded to smithereens for 40+ yrs. Was able to eek out a '37 Walker, '38 washington, 2 war nickels, a 4 wheaties. Was thinking: I wonder how Dan and Jamflicker could do at a place like this ? It would be like a chess-master playing chess with a computer: I'd like to give it a shot
So if you ever wanna make a weekender trip up here to some spots, there's a couch you can crash on.

Postscript: After my friend left that first back-pocket site of ours in So. CA, he went to another spot of ours, 30 min. from there, and got an 1871 seated dime.
But these would all be comparing "apples to oranges". Park turf is admittedly a totally different strategy than relicky/ruins type sites. I just as much enjoy eeking out the elusive early mercs and barbers from sickly turfed parks, as I do pulling seateds from stage stop/ruins/relicky type sites. Each venue has it's own "sport within a sport" feel.

Thanks Tom, I might take you up on that someday. Congrats on your seateds and barber. Seateds anywhere are tough. While you were in so cal I was in Arizona pillaging this state. Although nothing as old as you I did find 5 silver including an slq and the oldest coin was a 1905 Indian.It was a ... hmmmm.... let's call it a "relicky" site
