I went back to the park I have been hitting as the sun was going down. I spent the day researching the town we live in and found out most of the great possibilities have been turned into parking lots and buildings

. So it goes, but I got another 7 dimes from a 2 Ft square area. Had to go home, it's getting dark out here and the park closes at sunset too.
I did pass an OLD park up towards Merced on Saturday, that may be my next stop for a weekend drive. It's away off the beaten track, makes for a good chance. Right in the middle of Gold Country too, lot's of tailings from the placer mining. Still looking for that first gold coin!
