Metal Detecting Old Coins & Tokens

Metal Detecting Old Coins & Tokens – www.metaldetectorx.com – Another visit to the same city park we have been metal detecting lately. The place always produces something interesting, but, I am afraid the silver finds have dwindled. It’s either time to move on, or start at the front hitting the place from different angles. I think my reign in this place is about over. Now that my reign of this place is near over, it’s time to let the cat out of the bag. This place is called Memorial Park. The big trees you have seen are actual Memorials to fallen soldiers from past wars. Notice how we got a couple civil war era finds as well as heavy WW1 & WW2 Era silver coins. War Nickels, etc. There are tons of Memorial stones that have sunk or have been overtaken by the trees they were planted under. The brass plaques on them are a 12-33 on the E-TRAC. I’ve been thinking about contacting the parks and rec and asking them if they would like me to bring all the sunken memorial stones to the surface. Why did they let war memorial stones sink? Each tree was planted for a fallen soldier with a stone, with a plaque with their name on it. I have dug down to a couple of them and read the names on the front. It would be so easy to detect them all, bring them to the surface with a shovel and prop them up on fresh dirt. I wanted so bad to bring them up to the surface, but, I know permission is mandatory. They are shoe box size blocks of concrete with a brass plaque of the name. If they don’t catch them now, they will be gone forever. I kept discovering them thinking they might be deep indian head cents. This may make a good metal detecting human interest thing next season. If I can save these memorial grave stones from sinking using a metal detector and some elbow grease, it would make metal detecting a hero. More city land diplomatic immunity etc etc. I have made mental notes of the locations of these sunken memorial stones. On this hunt two old men walked up and spoke to me. They both wanted to chat me up about ten minutes. When I placed the Buffalo nickel in the one man’s palm, he got as excited as I did digging it. The other old bloke said “that don’t look like any metal detector I have ever seen”. – neswiper www.metaldetectorx.com neswiper uses the Minelab ETRAC Metal Detector, 18 x 15 SEF Search Coil, sunray X-1 Target Probe
