Default Veteran's Memorial Park... Douglas, AZ

hey everyone...hope all are doin well this weekend... well, tomorrow Mr. Garrett and i are going to bounce back down to Douglas to take a closer look at Vet's Park where he found the '01 Barber ( which is the year Douglas was founded, incidently.) this will be the ace's maiden voyage outside of the yard. But what is interesting and almost unbelievable is that this park is the largest one in the city(a whole block) it's never been hunted. All our keeper finds were buried under only 2 inches of dirt, and targets were located almost any place within the park.
I just don't think anyone has hit the place in years...if ever.The old bullet i found was at 2 inches and had someone even swept a coil over or near it in the past , it would have been found. I guess what im saying is ... woo-hoo!! we think this is a killer site that still has old secrets buried and were gonna hit it hard...maybe even grid search some sections. We're really chompin' at the bit to get at it tomorrow! Hope i can bring home the good stuff for ya's!
