You Know It Don't Come Easy
Got out Saturday to the oldest ball park I could think of still existed in my area that was in a reasonable driving distance.
The old photos I could find place it to be I would say a late 1890ish park to perhaps very early 1920's.
So, I thought this would be a great place to try looking for some deepies.
Firstly, I can say...though I have hunted in trash before, this place was a nightmare.
The only thing standing was the ball stop cage behind homeplate. Nothing else remained.
It reaked of that "old flavor" we all like to find.
However, it has been pounded to death...like all the old places.
The old fencing parts apperently littered the earth beneath.
I DUG so much iron. Iron nails and parts falsing as good target SOUNDs.
Was hoping to latch on to a deeply masked silver or indian.
IN any case I squeaked out a wheat, the face of an old kid's ring (really wish that was intact--I think it looked neat), and a '45 Merc.
A good 3 hour hunt. It don't come easy in the public places, but was a lot of fun!
