The park near the Seattle Times building.
First find of the day-a Lincoln Penny.
Finds for the day (2 pennies and a nickel)...junk too.Woke up this morning and thought about digging some dirt. We have the Seattle Times printing faciltiy near our house. Next to the building is a huge park where people play frisbee, football, soccer and other events, and over the summer a lot of coins can be lost. This is where I decided to dig for the morning. It appeared that the grounds have been swept before because I covered a lot of ground without any signals from the detector. The ground was really marshy, but I continued on. The detector started hitting some signals, but they sounded and detected trash. Finally I hit a good tone, so I dug a plug of dirt. The hole was full of water and it was entirely muddy...what a mess. It took a while to find, but out surfaced the first coin-a Lincoln Penny. The next signal and hole that I dug was a two coin pull; a nickel and penny. The $.07 took me around 30 minutes and it was a muddy mess. My mission was to find something from the park, and I'm glad that I gave it a shot. On the way back to the truck I found a penny that added to The Lincoln Penny Project. Keep at it and happy hunting!
