<p><strong>I had invited a friend from Indiana Roger, to come sometime and hunt with my regular hunting partner Doug and me.</strong> We went to the old park and Doug and his son Malachi joined us. We started out a bit slow then Roger hit a spot where he picked up three Wheaties with 1910 being the oldest. Doug made it and quickly got us going with a 1945 P war nickel, Roger then struck silver with a 1936 Merc. Doug doubled up on silver with a 1946 Rosey.</p> <p>I was feeling a bit left out when I got a sort of jumpy 12-43 12-44 signal that when I turned 90 degrees gave me a 12-38. But the tone was high and it was at 5 inches so I dug it and found a 1942 D Merc as my reward. It was on edge. Doug and Roger were getting Wheaties and I got a penny type signal reading 6 inches and found I was digging in fill dirt to find at the bottom of the hole a nice 1917 Wheatie, just a foot or so over I repeated digging in the fill and this time it was a 1946 Wheatie.</p>[split] <p>Circling around a big old tree stump I got a weird signal ranging from 12-38 to 12-44 and very jumpy but the tone sounded so nice I dug it and found a rusted bottle cap, a piece of foil, a piece of silvery looking metal that said made in Hong Kong and a silver disk in the bottom of the hole and I could see on the back One Dime. I called the others over and we were thinking could this be my first seated coin? Well being a realist I said it’s probably a Barber and that was verified but it was a sweet 1912 Barber Dime. My last good find was a Wheatie, 1914. no D of course. So we finished the day with a lot of Wheat's and 5 silvers and a very good time together. Doug and I use E-TRACs and Roger an Explorer SE, I had been told by many others that the "Old Park" has been hunted out, but we have proved it different. We have found at least 16 silver coins, 1 Indian Head and over 75 early Wheaties.</p> <p>No park is hunted out until it's "Minelabed Out"!</p>
