Here's the finds from my last 3 park hunts. Averaged about 5 hrs each hunt. First hunt was tough. Lots and lots of iron bits with 1 lone wheat.
Second hunt produced a few good targets. My favorite is the shell gas station key fob. Also got a couple wheats and what I thought at first was going to be a nickel. Pulled it out of the hole and the coin had some corrosion similar to what zincolns get. Started to rub it and I could see a swastika on the front. I threw it in the tumbler when I got home and found that's it's a 10 Fennig coin from 1941. It's made of zinc so probably why it didn't hold up very well in the ground.
The last hunt was better but covered less ground. I was moving at a snails pace and started hitting a couple wheats. One of them had a marble with it. Then I got the religious pendant which I thought might be silver, but I don't believe it is. The best find of the day was a 1920 Mercury dime. It was right next to a plug I had dug on a previous hunt, but moving really really slow is what enabled me to get it this time. Got a couple more wheats, a couple buttons, and some other charm-type thing. Can't wait for the next hunt. Good luck to all!
