Hey folks, this was my hunt from today, I went to a park that is roughly around 100 years old. It's been hammered over the years, ask anybody who's ever hunted with me and they will tell you the same. It's a certain style of park hunting, you have to sort of get into the groove as I like to call it. You can still make these places work, you just have to learn the language of the soil and your machine. This soil is infested with iron, so much that nearly half of the plugs I dug today had iron in the hole with the target. I dug nearly 50 pull tabs hoping for a gold ring, but once again, I didn't get one, maybe next time. This park is not only infested with iron, but it has a lot of trash in spots as well. It's really tough, if you don't know what you are doing, or get frustrated easy, you won't find much here. I dug 11 wheat pennies, the oldest being 1910, I also dug a double silver quarter spill, a 1953 Washington, and a 1930 SLQ, also in the hole was a 1939 Jefferson nickel. I also dug two other old Jefferson nickels, a 1957 and a 1954, and a dateless Buffalo nickel. Now onto the relics and jewelry, I dug two sterling rings, a small unmarked very old looking one, with three stones in the front, it looks very much like a 1920's era ring, I found it in an area of the park that was around during that time, and I also dug a large sterling ring, and this one is marked 925 along with maker's initials on the inside. I also dug a large signal, that turned out to be a mangled large piece of sterling with a neat engraved design all along it. This may be the largest piece of sterling I have ever found. It looks like maybe a piece of trim off of something. If anyone knows, please let me know thanks. And one more piece was this small pin that says Victory Liberty Loan 1919, I'm guessing WWI era loan. This would be the second WWI related item I have dug from this park. Here are the pics, thanks for looking and reading, and HH Everyone!
