Spent some more time at the 2 ballfields I hunted yesterday. No model planes nor golfers today. It took me an hour and a half to finish up the infield of the first ballfield. Found 2 more silvers there, both were 9 or 10 inches deep. Of course, I filled in my holes and smoothed them out. The first silver was a 1908-D Barber Quarter found in the basepath between first and second. The second was a 1942 Mercury Dime found in the left-hand batter's box.
Here's the Barber Quarter:
And here's the Merc:
Moving to the next field, the first target I got was a really nice 1898 Barber Dime at about six inches. Only found a few pennies and some clad dimes after that. The infield was still frozen along the first base line and between home plate and the pitcher's mound. I had to leave a couple good targets that I couldn't reach in the frozen ground. But here's the Barber Dime:
After a short break for some lunch, I moved to a spot I was sure wouldn't be frozen- in the woods. I started detecting along a bicycle trail. After digging up a couple of deeply buried beer cans, I got a sweet signal about four inches deep along the side of the trail. This ended up being a nice 1877-CC Seated Liberty Dime. After following the trail for another 45 minutes and finding only a couple memorial pennies and a few more beer cans, I called it a day.
Here's the Seated Dime:
Thanks for looking.
