Happy weekend everyone. I went back to the same park I've been working on for the past week. I'm working just a small corner of the park pretty hard and it keeps on giving. I'm beginning year two with the Nox 600 and upped my 2021 silver total to 4 today. This nice little SLQ is a bucket lister for me, first ever. Glad it's in such nice shape with the date very visible. Also, another old wheaty from today's hunt. Finally, figured I'd show the clad and the junk dug today for those who are brand new and wondering what it takes to come up with silver in an old, urban park that has surely been hunted.

OOOooohhh, I like those corroded zinc pennies in the 4th pix !! I'm jealous. I've never found a corroded zinc before :cool3:
 
Good luck Mikey, hopefully you'll join the party soon.

Don't you know Tom, those zincoln's are the Iowa version of Large Cents out East and the Reales out West. After all, we do border the, "Land of Lincoln". :laughing:
 
Congrats on some very nice finds! And thanks for showing the trash, as it's something that I can relate to. And FWIW, sometime, one of those zinc signals will end up being an IHP, or a nice fat gold ring! GL and HH!
 
Thanks for the comments all! In terms of the junk, I just think it's important for people new to the hobby to understand that even with good detectors and experienced detectorists, you still dig junk. It's something I would've appreciated seeing three years ago when I first started.
