I made a trip to Kent over the weekend for a transmission and made plans to stop in Everett on the way back to stay with my gf's grandparents for a few days. We left the island Thurs night but I didn't get to break ground til around 10am Sat as the park started to fill up with kids and floaties making their way to the lake. I had planned on hunting a boy scout camp there but it was closed for a family reunion. I hunted a clearing that I was pretty sure was a different park in the 1800's from what I saw on an old map a year or so ago and came up with this.
It says "F.W. Baker 559 Colman Seattle WN" It also has what looks like a 13 star shield up above it. I checked for a Colman St or Coleman St but there is none in Seattle. My gf wondered if it may have been a Street in old Seattle before the fire of 1889 and is under the new section?
It rings up @ 44 out of the ground so I'm thinking it's brass.
Then, I hit a curb strip for awhile and nailed my first silver coin with the AT Pro and 2nd career. A 47D that I clipped. It was 6" deep and barley chirped but it was pretty steady with the high tone and the # was hitting @ 84 for the most part. Also got a 45 S wheat penny on this same strip.
Hit another curb strip in Anacortez on the way to they ferry this morning and got a silver plated religious medallion.
