Just got in from a local park. They close about 10:00 PM. I like to get there when most people are leaving. Most of the court's lights go off after 10:05. I have a headlight, and just dug up my second clad quarter, and got a strong 44 on my Minelab 305. Most quarters are 40. After cutting a plug of grass, I immediately saw a bright shiney coin!  A '56 quarter! I've been over these parks, and never expected to find silver, as this is a <30 year-old park. Probably some kid went into Dad's collection for a soda!  Ha!  I'll be back for more...Chris

after 10

Charles, you're right.. the ranger and I met before, and he gives me some extra time. this time I was actually sent away by a near point blank sprinkler.. Ha! He has a truck to finish garbage rounds, and I'm out before he's done.Regards,Chris

if the park closes at 10 you shouldn't be in there after 10. that would reflest badly on our hobby.
