I hadn't been to some nearby fields for awhile and when I first saw them I thought, 'Dayum, that is some good looking grass!' I was wondering if my skills were up to any attempt at digging in that beautiful stuff. In my defense, it was still somewhat dark out. Turns out, they had completely renovated the fields with AstroTurf. There's drainage, etc., and they don't have to water, and they don't have to worry about muddy fields, and there will never be any more goodies to be found on those fields. The only saving grace is that most finds are off the fields anyway...but it still has reduced the huntable area by 80%. Maybe it will concentrate the finds into smaller areas...any drops on the field will be found sooner or later by eyeball unless very small. I only hunt this place anymore to get out of the house and swing my arm for a while...but another set of fields I checked out this morning has gone the same route.
Caught in the act by Google Earth...
These fields were redone too...probably right after the ones above were done.
