4TH OF JULY HUNT


Again I went up to my uncle's camp and did my usual hunting at the local school.  I was hoping to get silver this year since I found some wheat pennies there last year.  My wish came true - finding my first silver coin there - a mercury dime.  Also found my share of clad.

AWAITING WORD

Have not heard anything yet from the commissioner of parks after e-mailing him on Monday.  I hope he gets back to me so we can resolve this issue and start hunting in the city parks again.

SHORT HUNT SATURDAY

I met up with D and we started at one of the city parks.  About a hour in we were approached by a gentleman saying he was the commissioner of parks saying that metal detecting in city parks wasn't allowed.  We told him that we and others have been hunting them for years - he knows and he was open to suggestions about how to allow detecting.  We suggested issuing a permit - he said to e-mail him which I did so now I'm waiting for a response.
So we left and hit a couple of schools.  D found some wheat pennies and me just clad.  Hopefully we can still hunt the parks.
