[QUOTE="LostNowFound, post: 353286, member: 10735"] Best to do your research on a park, how old it is, was it used for market days or festivals in the past....?? You would be wasting your time if it was a rubbish dump and back filled in the day now turned into a modern park land! Mostly trash. I found one of those once, had to figure out where the new ground started verses the original "virgin" ground, guess what? Found all the good stuff near the road along the foot paths or near the park benches hint hint... found nothing interesting on the back filled area! Locals, especially the older generation are you best history channel. Ask them and if they are friendly they can tell you some true history on the area. One guy came up to me once and said, your wasting your time, this used to be a river and was back filled...try down there.. that's where the waters edge started and people hopped on the ferry boat - may have dropped something - ...needless to say I was nowhere near the actual waters edge. It truly was mind blowing how time changes everything!! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
