A Quiet Day In The Park.

CyberSage · Jul 19, 2007

I had just a short time to hunt today. So I went to a local park this afternoon. It is called oddly enough "City Park". Hunted this place many times. It is a big park with lots of obscure out-of-the-way places. I chose an older part of the park with lots of shade trees and started swing'in. I kind of did something a little different today. I chose areas than didn't look like they would be good spots. I decided if this park is hunted like crazy, then do the opposite of what a person metal detecting would do. I hunted for about 2 1/2 hours and had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the people looking at me as I detected in the planters. :lol:

I went way out in the middle of the park and stayed away from the edges, away from activity. I went to the quiet areas. Anyway It worked out pretty good, very relaxing. I even found some silver! Here is the take for the hunt.

Found 2 Sac Dollars in 1 hole! That was fun. :tumble:

Near the end of the hunt I found this nice silver piece stamped .925

Just thought I would share.

Keep Swing'in

Nice finds Jack. Your strategy paid off! I may have to give it a try....

Nice haul as usual Jack. I'm hoping to get a break in the heat down here in Florida, so I can get the DFX out for a check swing. The way it's going, it'll be the beach with the PI Pro though. BTW, Thanks for your help with the DFX.

Nice hunt Jack. Is that a presious moments boy and bear? By the I cant spell :lol:

Nice going Jack. Two Sacs in one hole is a nice drop. You sould have some good places to hunt up your way with Ft. Collins and Greeley being 19th century towns with cattle barons going thru.

Nice haul for a couple of hours! I've yet to turn up Sac dollars - congrats on the find!

nice haul!

Good haul Cyber - and good thinking. I have done that exact thing myself - look for places that other detectorists would think there couldn't be anything there. WTG on the 2 Sacs - unusual in one day, Steve in so az

Nice job. I'm gonna have to try hunting the planters.

Nice quarter haul!

RD :cool:

Excellent haul for detecting less frequented areas. I will have to give that a try!

You only had a short time to hunt and you found all that. That's amazing.

If you don't stop to dig Dime and penny hits you can cover a lot of ground. I use the Bigfoot, and Cherry picked. Until you use a Bigfoot coil the results of my hunts that I post seem a little unrealistic. I go back and hit the same sites and dig everything on other hunts. I never got close to what I find now before I started using this coil. :yes:

Nice haul! You have a point on the pennies, I dig lots of them, and end up never finishing a location. I cherry pick parking lots, and that is the closest to a 50 coin day I have ever gotten. I ask to MD a local sports complex, and was told to go ahead, but "this place is covered in retired guys the morning after any event with thier metal detectors". I may need to try your technique there. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, and the pics.

And being a foriegner on here, can someone tell me what a 'sac dollar' is?

Ah ok, that is a nice looking coin.
So it is just a special edition one.

I actually have a Bigfoot. Tried it last summer in a trashy forrest preserve. Never found so much can-slaw so fast. That was the last time I used it (as well as my IDX Pro). But since I've discovered volley ball courts, I think I'll give them another try.

The Sac is in circulation. The link I sent does not have the mintage numbers listed, though.

Nice haul Cybersage! Nice quarter count, and the Sacs help the total add up. That's also a realy nice sterling charm. My wife thinks it's part of the Precious Momements line???
