I couldn't believe I was at Goodale Park!

Friday after work I stopped over at heavily hunted Goodale Park. We've had a few group outings here and I think everyone knows how hard it is to hunt and find good old targets. I remember one COMDA hunt there where Dan doggedly hunted the whole time to get one silver dime out of the place, and it was the only silver of the day. Anyhow, I must have just been in the right spot Friday. 

I was walking a line and picked up the 1937 Mercury dime. At that point, my day is made. Silver from Goodale, what a treat! I walk another 100 feet or so and get  another silver dime sounding hit. I dig the hole... 1943 Mercury dime.  I send a text to tease Suzanne and  let her know I've got two silver dimes and I close up the hole. I get up, rescan the hole and get a 12-38 on the E-Trac... I'm thinking, ok, there's a wheat in there. Open 'er back up and nope... 1940 Mercury dime! Obviously I've hit the one strip of grass in this place that everyone with a detector has just walked over.

So,
I keep running passes through this area and pick up some more wheats, a 1949 nickel, 1940 Canadian cent, a nifty looking medallion with an M on it and near the end a nice 1901 Indian... a bit crusty, but with great detail. This kinda day makes up for all the other days I've left this park empty handed.

    I'm Nick A. and I am a metal detector hobbyist in Central Ohio.  I have been metal detecting since 1990, and currently use the Minelab E-Trac detector.

    I am always happy to find silver coins (made before 1964) for my collection, as these are no longer in common circulation.
