Nice haul for 1.5 hours at a park!!

detectorben · Oct 9, 2019

Stopped by a park on my way home from out of town job. Only had an hour and a half to hunt. Set my sights on an area between the bathrooms and picnic shelter since that is usually a high traffic area. I walked a grid over the area trying to scan every inch. It wasn't long before I realized I had chosen the right area. The barber dime was my first good find and then good signals started popping out all around there. They were all at least 6 inches down except for ring/necklace and there were a lot of roots so it was tough retrieving them. There are so many surface clad coins and modern trash you really have to slow down and listen for the deeper softer high tones but once I tuned my ears to them it was like perfect signs jumping out at me. Thanks for looking!

This is photo of Phelps Cigar Co. Circa 1925. That is company named on token.

That's some nice old coinage!

Congrats especially on the Barber dime. The ring is nice, too; it looks like it says "My beloved is mine" from Song of Solomon 2:16? Nice in-situ picture of it!
