Got nothing but signals!! Everywhere, I don't think I could swing my detector more than 6 inches in any direction without getting a hit. I figured on spending an hour or so there, spent three and came up with some coin- 5 quarters, 10 dimes, 11 pennies (1 of them Canadian)- but nothing old 
No wheaties or silver, lots of trash on this point, area was located near a former car dealership that was tore down in the mid 70's (it had been opened since probably the 1930's at that location- I can vaguely remember it being tore down-just a youngin then). Anyways, I think alot of the rubble from demolition went into this lot (figures Urban renewal at its best)when the entire area including this point were made into a boat launch and small park. Don't know why I had never hit the area before, the riverfront park isn't very big but it sits directly across the river from an 18th century French and later British Fort site along with Indian village. It also borders the oldest building in town- built in the 1790's and which was once a customs house - now a border partrol headquarters- ironically this park is also known for the pull up in car drug deals etc. that go in this small town. So there could be lots of history deep down I guess. Will try to go back earlier tomorrow and hit it again, glad I had my sniper 4 inch coil on, might bring one of the bigger coils to see whats really down there ( I have a 12 inch monster coil too plus an 8 1/2). Found lots of modern brass and copper items- I think related to the dealership and a good quantity of pull tabs and bottle caps- dug so many holes my knees and back are both aching now. Anyways here's a shot of what I got today by doing 1/3 of the area:
