I was studying some 1940 aerial views of a ball field last night. I noticed the ball diamond itself shifted from one end of the field to the other since then. Screenshot_2018-06-11-22-27-03.png Screenshot_2018-06-11-22-27-12.png
I figured the best place to start would be where the old ball diamond sat. Spent a few hours there and nothing old... Clad and trash. Suddenly, out pops this beauty. 7g of 14k. I'll take it. 20180612_163526.jpg 20180612_210307-1.jpg

Where did you find a 1940 aerial photo? I tried google earth but for my area it only goes back to 1990:(

Nice find. I'd like to hit the parks around me but they have a no digging clause in the regulations. Not sure if it would apply to metal detecting since we only do plugs.

a terrible find, you should have left it as seed...it was probably 10k when it was lost! Nah, just kidding, pretty darn sweet gold!
