I found a park today that was right under my nose. I could not believe I never knew of this place. It was a great find in itself. It didn't disappoint me either. About 20 steps out of the car I see something shiny sticking out from the leaves. Well alright! my first can of the day! lol It turned out to be a stainless boyscout knife. I also found a bent up broach pin on the surface as well. A short time later came a broken knife, a little bit of clad, a few old buttons and my wheatie of the day. I no more than said to myself, " Where theres wheats theres silver somewhere," and bang! 6+ dime hit. I checked all angles and the only thing to change was the depth. As I flipped my plug I could see a shiny Mercury crawling out of the darkness.  Grin I was so happy! First silver in a while.  headbang Thanks for looking everyone.
