Decided to go to a Church Grove I Havn't hit
since the early 90's

In 1938 This was Just a Picnic Grove

Somewhere after That They Built a Ballfield

in the 80's They moved a Church to the Property
from a Quarter Mile east, & Placed it on the Ballfield

And the Picnic Grove Became a church Grove.

Pulled in today When I Saw a Car there.

Risking Bursting Into Flames, I Knocked,
Hesitated & Slowley Made my way Through the door.

Imagine My surprise I Was still Pain Free.
No Heat & Flames :laughing7:
& The place is No Longer a church.

Asked For Permission, & Told her
how Long it's Been & That I Recenly Learned of the Ballfield
and Would Like to hunt it.

She took My Name & Number saying she would Call the
Preacher who is now in a different church, & If there was a Problem
he would Call Me. He never did,
I Spent all my time on the West side of the church.
Never Made it into the Grove.

Gas Rebate

66 Cents

Hey....you ran over and got lucky enough to hit one of the new sites already!!

Congrats on the meager finds......LOL!! I think you have to have your silver good luck charm along to score.....LOL!!

Looks like the ground is being extremely cruel to the coins over there....not good!!

Boy I miss the fall colors. Is it possible the ground is dry? Maybe visit it again after some moisture hits. Besides, that is a LOT of area to cover.

Actually the Ground is Perfectly Moist.

On several Tagets I was easily down 10"
Actually gave up on a couple Deeper
that were Obviously Large objects Very deep.
