QUICK HUNT IN A PARK

Tuesday a friend of mine was working in town and called me to meet him at a park where he had luck finding silver.  The park looked different to him since he had not been there for over 10 years - he wasn't sure if it was the right one but we tried it anyway.   It was quite humid and late in the day so we didn't stay long.  He found some pennies I found a dime and Canadian penny.  We crossed this park off our list.
