Maybe 500 Holes Or Core Samples

[McKinney_5900]

My local park has dug a matrix of holes, or some reason. I don't have a clue as to why. It covers a huge acreage, these pics are hardly 1/5th of the total.

My question is if there is any chance metal detecting those piles is worth trying? There used to be POW prisoners there in the 1940 and also migrants in an earlier time period. I never found anything good on my hunts.

Would it be worth detecting these small core samples? I am trying to see what the plan is for all of this but I just seen it today. Thanks.

I mean if it was me I would give it a shot. I’d run my detector over several just to see if anything pops up. Never know

I'd hit that

Definitely would try and run the detector over them and even a PP down in the hole. Maybe they are going to plant trees?

I'd detect it and in the holes too.

It sure looks like tree planting to me as well.

Tree planting was it, but it makes little sense to me, since it will ruin the frisbee golf course there. I got a pic of the small saplings in the ground yesterday in a local post I made in asking. It is like "a farm" in the way they planted all of them. It just seems counter productive to expansion of a park, to me.

They might be keeping nursery stock in the ground so that they can dig them up and transplant them when needed to other areas/parks.
