Metal Detecting - 1 Merc & 5 Wheats - Father's Day Hunt

Good morning,

Happy Father's Day 2020! ​

My wife asked me what I wanted to do for Father's Day.. I told her.. Metal Detecting!
It has been my Sunday morning tradition anyway

I did a very early and quick 2 hour detecting hunt this morning.. 4:30 - 6:30

1 Silver Winged Liberty Head - 1942
5 Wheat Cents

I have been blessed that since May 9th of this year I have been finding many old US Coins using a new Metal Detector - The Minelab Vanquish 440


Here is an updated picture -

All detected since May 9th!

The rest from this morning.. Yes that is a golf ball!
I keep baseballs, softballs and golf balls found at my local park!

Wow Paddy. Are you still harvesting that one area you avoided for years?

 

The original spot I kind of hunted out.. so I have been hitting the other areas near it with good results!

 

No doubt!

Here is an old picture I found of the park I detect circa 1940's.. There were boat piers and storehouses there once and most of that park is landfill.
The building on the bottom is now a public restroom.
The area to the left before the baseball field is where the old coins are buried!
The tennis court is still there.

And here is a current aerial view from above with tennis court.
Those trees have really grown over the decades!
Where the number 5 is shown is the sweet spot area!

 

There’s some old properties near me. Now I think I’ll have to spend some of my afternoon with my detector!

 

My dad used to live in an old Victorian house. He never had a metal detector, but by chance he found an 1844 O seated liberty quarter, and an 185? flying eagle cent.

 

Paddyman98 you must have detected that roosevelt dime near FDR 4...or 5?..seems like you're very methodical in your detecting activity
