Treasure Hunting at Picnic Grove in Upstate New York
Local Elderly People Are the 'Gold Mine' Of Valuable Information
Shelly's work schedule was opposite of mine so I kept coming back to the Picnic Grove site for one or two hours after work almost every day. After one month of having metal detecting fun at the Grove, I dug up over 250 coins!
Coins Found Within One Month
I called Peter and told him about my discovery hoping that he could find a day to come over and join me in metal detecting at the Grove. Unfortunately, he was very busy with important projects at that time and could not do it. By the end of the third month, October, I had accumulated over 500 coins. Next few pictures include the coins and the spots where the coins were recovered, which I happened to photograph.

It Was Found Here
Italian 1846 3 Quattrini
And 1876 cc (Carson City) Silver Dime
