IN THE OLIVE OIL

AFTER

BEFORE

Well I've had my Indian in olive oil for a few days now - looking a little better but still in sad shape.  I will let it sit some more - I am starting to get a little better date on the coin but for the third digit.

OLD SCHOOL AND A NEW PARK

Saturday morning I went back to the school where I found the V nickel and all the wheat pennies.  Still hoping to find silver  - well I did but not coins - 2 silver rings and almost 3 bucks in clad.  I also found wheat penny #145.  Wish I could get a silver coin maybe that's next.

Today I hit a new park for me - one in the city.  A man walking his dog said the park has been around since 1905.  It has 2 ball fields and tot lot area and I will hit it again - the ground though was soggy due the past rain.  I managed just under 2 bucks in clad.  Overall not a bad weekend.  I hope the weather holds out as I plan to take advantage of it.  It was also my best nickel weekend finding 9 plus one Canadian.
