Couldn't decide where to swing this morning after work. Was misting out and looking like a steady rain was going to open up at any time. I ran to a local park to hunt the sled hill for some bling. When I got there the weeds and grass on and below the sled hill were a good 3 foot high!!!:mad:
Plan B. I decide to hit the local park that has been around for over 100 years. But on the way to the park I decided to go look at another spot I found from last year. The rain made it easy to decide to drive around.
Plan C. I get to my spot, right across the street from the police station. I found it one day last year as I was looking for places to hunt. I noticed a house was torn down on the corner by the police station. The building was gone and a good 6 inches of dirt was gone or what was left was 1 huge 7 foot pile. All of the sidewalk was gone, too. I had the ATPro with me back then. As I was sitting in my truck there trying to decide what to do, a officer walks up to me to see what I'm doing. He saw the ATPro in the back seat of my 4X4 and asked me if I was waiting on another hunter. He then tells me that the city bought the property and it's going to be a parking lot REAL SOON. I couldn't get the door open fast enough. Found 6 pennies that day. 3 were wheat. So, I knew it had potential. Well, the last time I checked on the parking lot status, everything was the same EXCEPT the house next door was boarded up!:D My guess it would be soon part of the growing parking lot.
So, that was plan C. Go hunt the empty lot then ease over into the front lawn of the boarded up house. Test the waters a bit. :yes:
Well when I get there, the boarded up house is GONE!:shock: Most of the topsoil is still here in BIG piles.
:D:D:D:D
I just sit there and, of course, the rain STARTS!!!!:no: I waited as long as I could. No headphones just me and the CTX. TONS of trash to start with. First coin....zinc penny. Second coin....zinc penny. 4th coin.....1944 merc!!!!!:D:D:D:D
With the recent rains I am sinking 2 to 4 inches anywhere I step!!! I ended up digging lots of trash. I did find an older key and a dogtag. I looked back at my trail. I could see ALL of my footsteps and I noticed an area I missed. I go back in the mud and start swinging. I got a bunch of different readings and tones but I could hear something just a little different than the trash I was digging. I dig a 5 inches down and I see SILVER Mr.Roosevelt.
:D:D:D I re-scan the hole and the ProPointer says I forgot something. I dig around and pops out a 1964 SILVER quarter.
I re-scan and there is more!!! Out pops a wheat and a 1958 wheat. First silver coinspill!!!!!:yes::yes::yes:
I ended up finding another wheat and 2 marbles.
I left for Plan D. I went to another park on a bling hunt. I did hit ring #8 but it was another junker. It's a Disney "C" ring. I hit some clad and LOTS of pennies.
