Hey everyone,

I will start by saying the past few weeks have been a good stretch. I was finishing up hunting a private yard in a old side of town a few weeks ago. Well I wasn't ready to call it a day yet. So I saw a old ball field across the street and said to my boy lets go swing for a few clads and maybe a oldie or two.

Within minutes I had a silver rosie. It got my attention but nothing to exciting. Well that day I was only able to hunt it for about 45 minutes because about 100 kids showed up to play football. But before I left I popped another rosie. Made a mental not and said to myself I will return.

The the rest answers it all. I went back cranked up the V3 and started ripping as many deep signals off this feild as I could. Starting to get nervous that I may be asked to leave. It happens all the time. As neat as I am they just don't want you on these feilds. I have been told to leave some great ball feilds in the past.

This one is pretty much abandoned. It is really chewed up in the center of the feild. I got lucky and not one person bothered me. I made about 7 or 8 trips to this feild. Avg hunt about 2.5 hrs. I had days were I pulled 9 silvers out in 2 hrs. I would call it a day go home shower for work and go about my day.

No rare dates but alot of wheats barber half standing libs etc. This place has been hunted before I could tell. I just don't think it ever saw a etrac or V3. I got lucky. This puts me at 99 silvers on the yr really quick. Couldn't get number 100 today but got some goodies to show next time.

Thanks for looking

HH Jer

Man, Jer that's great. Nice so see you post again, hope everything is going well for you. What program and settings are you using on your V3 these days?

My gosh, they are all beautiful. I'm sure there's alot more there too!!!
 
Re: Beleive It Or Not. 38 Silvers In The Last 2 Weeks.

Great haul! Ballfields are my all time favorite for producing old coins. Many don't realize that that's where traveling circuses and fairs were held in the 'ol daze.

Re: Beleive It Or Not. 38 Silvers In The Last 2 Weeks.

I believe it! Nice haul, and no hunt is complete without a Pittsburgh Railways token. Do I also see a PA Turnpike medallion? Are the SLQs Type I or II?
 
Ahh, reminds me of MDing in the 60s and 70s. :)
 
Ah, history hunter. Let me tell you about md ing in the 50s. My uncle used to go out to school yards to augment his Navy pay. Would pick up $30 any given weekend. All in pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. That was a lot in 1956. That with a surplus mine detector. He is the one that cleaned out all the old siver from the schools everyone is moaning about today! That had to be the good old days.
 
you've clearly got a great place to dig! nice finds!
