Today I was at a new location that I found on a satellite search of google. It was a sports complex I found just off a road I travel frequently and I never knew it was there. Six baseball diamonds a snack bar and restroom facilities. I arrived to find the complex completely deserted with weeds growing up everywhere.
The cinderblock dugouts and buildings looked to date from the 40's or 50's (just my impression). I started to hunt and began hittting signals immediately. The sun was very hot and I hunted for about 2 hours before I had had enough of the heat and humidity. In that time I dug more than 100 coins for a total of $8.73 in clad including the 74 Kennedy half below. The half rang up as a half at 4 inches, well I've seen that signature too many times but the little yellow fellow insisted that this time it was sure the half was there...so...I dug it and for the first time I pulled up a half dollar. 1974 Kennedy.
The good thing about all that clad in two hours is this...I had only hunted a portion of one diamond...leaving still 5 and half more diamonds to search. I'll be hitting this site again and again and...
