Hey Folks, I got out with my buddy Bill yesterday and today, to try and hunt a park a little ways away from me. This park is the only park I can say, almost every time I have showed up here in the past, I usually spot at least one other person I have not met before hunting this park somewhere. This park gets hunted just about on a daily basis every year almost. And today was no different as I seen somebody else hunting here again. But what makes this park interesting is the size of it. It goes back to the 1890s. I heard stories of what people have pulled out of here in years past, and it always keeps me interested. It is very trashy in spots, but some spots aren't too bad. But in most cases here the old stuff is really deep. So deep, that my E-trac barely picks up the signal on max sensitivity! Anyway most of the guys who have hunted this park, cherry pick for silver like most of the guys in the area. I could tell because I was digging Wheat pennies the whole hunt both days. I ended up with eighteen Wheats yesterday and twenty-five today, which I believe ties my all time single hunt total for Wheats in a day. And I dug three IH pennies yesterday, and six more today. The dates are two 1905, 1901, three 1898, 1893, and two 1880. A 1942 Australian penny, that was a solid 12-46 at six inches. I'm not sure what that was doing here 
. An old NFT Transit Token. A toasted V Nickel, that was really deep. It is too toasted for me to get a date off of it. And two silver dimes yesterday, and two more silver dimes today. A 1934 Merc and a 1957 Rosie yesterday, and a 1960 Rosie and a 1914 Barber today. The interesting thing about the Barber is, I was working an area with my buddy Bill, and he heard this this area has produced lots of silvers and Barbers in the past. I must have pulled a least a dozen or so early Wheats and all my IH pennies out of this area. And all at near extreme depths. You have to go super slow and crank your sensitivity here. I could tell that somebody or several hunters over the years have cherry picked this spot to near death. All that was left were deep wheats and a few IH pennies. Then just before I was going to head home and end my hunt, and got a slight squeak, a 12-41 at about 8 inches. I was expecting another deep wheat 
. But the wheats at this depth were reading slightly lower, like the 12-37 range here. This was just a tad higher, so I was hoping for a silver dime just as old as the IH pennies or early wheats I was finding here, and surely enough it was a 1914 Barber dime. Sweet! I felt very rewarded for sure after digging wheats and deep iron the whole hunt, but I'll gladly take the IH pennies the previous hunters left 
. Well anyways here are the pics thanks for looking and Happy Hunting Everyone!
