3rd base side finds

[McCDig]

The rains came down most of the weekend but did break around 2 PM today. I got to the ball field around 4 and had an hour and a half to detect.

I finally made my way over to the 3rd base side of a ball diamond. There about 7 inches down as my hole was refilling with water, I brushed away the mud to reveal a musketball.

Over to another diamond, and oddly enough on the 3rd base side I got a sweet high-tone and dug a wheat. I put the plug back in only to hear another high-tone. Dug into the sidewall to find silver, a 1946 Rosie. The wheat turned out to be a 1950. This is a spill dating from the 1950s.

Go figure. Third base was my home run today x 2.

I really like old ball fields. Good job! 🙌

 

[McCDig]

Thx Ogre1190! Yep, it's real peaceful out here and a treat to pull a keeper every now and then.

Congrats on the Silver.

Thx ATW! Very cool field to hunt, you may dig a flat button, an occasional modern silver, or clad ..... a mix separated in time.

Congrats on eking out that 1950's coin spill McCDig.

Nice silver! Wondering do you find more on the third base line or the first base line?

 

[Jamie1993]

Congrats on the silver and the lead. Nothing like hitting 2 out of the park down the third base line.

Always nice to pull a silver. Congratulations. I don't frown on musket balls either.

Silver is always nice Señor Mike

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Lilo. Good tone and high numbers from a wheat/Rosie spill. Couldn't miss it.

 

[McCDig]

Thx No gold in NY! Same here. On this field musketballs are the exception, so it's great to find them.

 

[McCDig]

Thx Tommy! Yep, it's uncanny how that worked out, but you know how detecting goes ..... never be surprised.

 

[McCDig]

Thx Relicific! That would have made for a great story, too. Still looking for that diamond

Thanks Jamie1993! It was wet there, but I think that made the signals pop even more. Yes, you may say that I "scored".
