I keep hearing a place is never hunted out, Phelps Grove Park in Springfield, Mo is as hunted out as you can get. It was a farm before it was a Civil War Camp, and a CW hospital and later became a home to CW orphans. It became a park in 1910 and people have been looking for CW artifacts ever since. I seldom hunt there, but it has been too dry to do much digging and I thought I'd kick some chips in the tot lots. I managed to find over $3 in clad and a pretty little silver ring. Nothing was more than a half inch deep. It is a different hunt than what I'm used to. Peaceful and quiet with only the occasional beep, no iron, no beaver-tails,no canslaw and very few pull tabs.
