Ok so I found this ball field on an old aerial photograph and was thrilled to find out that it is still there and part of a now larger park. I think it's safe to call this a virgin spot now. Twelve silvers in three relatively short hunts:headbang:

Started out tonight with a deepish 1916 Barber dime in great condition This as well as an earlier IHP, flat buttons, and tonight's heel plate? indicate a possible earlier presence on the site. So who knows what's out there. Got the merc soon after and then it went slow for awhile. Got the two GWs and two Rosie's in the last 15 minutes. A hunt I won't soon forget and can't wait to get back

The silver you found is very nice. However, the location you found is the "treasure" most of us wish to find. Well done on the research and I hope the site yeilds you many happy hunts :occasion14:

toasted,

I'd grid the heck out of that site and hit it from different angles and after you think it's down hit it again after a hard rain.

Regards + HH

Bill
