So I find this little park not to far from me a couple of weeks ago and have been chomping at the bit since to hunt it! I finally got out to it and man did it pay off. Went out for about 1 and a half hours. The first hour was slow and was thinking what a dud!! I then went from the playground area to the ball field and bingo found 7 dimes in a row!! I then went to the other side of the back stop and my first hit was a quarter. My second hit was a dollar on the old ACE250 at 4 inches. I have got to say in my short metal detecting career about 1 year I have dug about 20, 1 dollar targets and except for a 1922 Studebaker hubcap they have been all duds. Until this one. I dug the plug and flipped it over and BAM 5 quarters drop off the bottom of the plug. (Note to self write Garrett and tell the they need to put a 1.25 notch on the new ACES hehe)

All in all I finished this short hunt with 26 coins for a grand total of 3.14 cents. And a possible bonus the one dime I have seams to have been stamped wrong. Took a photo of it but I don't think it shows it very well. Not sure what this is called but going to have it checked out!! Thanks for looking!!

That's our new change for you.I find them not even a year old here on the beach sometimes totally eat alive.Very thin copper over zinc.  Angry  Very neat dig on the five quarter hole.That don't happen much probably. I know the future MDer's are going to be in a mess tring to find a good coin from now and day's left. laughing9

Not up on coin terminology but if your asking if it has the grooves on the side yes it does!! I didn't want to clean it to much just enough to see the year. It's a 1993 with a "P" mint mark. Does that stand for Philly. I didn't think Philly used a P mint mark?Huh I have only been detecting for about 1 year and am trying to get familiar with coins and their values!! Thanks for any info you can share!!
