Met a guy in the gas station while getting my dose of caffeine in the a.m.. We got to talking, and it turned out he take's care of the fields and parks in a town close to me. I asked him if it was ok to metal detect the field's/parks in town, and he said sure. He said he's seen guy's out on the baseball field's. I'm thinking bummer, no virgin territory there. Then he said I could do his house, circa 1903, and he knew some farmer's in the area that might be willing to let me hunt. Cool, this day's starting out good.
So Saturday on the way back from my iron field's, I decided to stop at the baseball field's and give it a shot. 13 clad in a couple of hours.
I thought he said he's seen guy's out here before?
Sunday morning while having my morning joe
, I found an aerial photo of the field's from 1939.
Brought up the current aerial photo from G. Earth, and studied them. Pot of coffee gone, time to hunt.
My finds with a 2 hour hunt Saturday and 5 hour hunt Sunday.
Notable's:
1957 Rosie
(Was afraid I was going to get silver skunked in '17)
2-Wheats
1947 nickel
And an eyeball find 2000p Sacagawea . (Not sure if this is special. I do have the gold colored one in my coin folder.)
Here's the present aerial of the field's and where I found coins.
I only spent about 1 hour in the yellow area just to see if my research would pay off. Wanted to clear out the clad section before anyone else did
Looks like my research might payoff. Will be in the yellow box today!
Hope your all out enjoying this great weather! At least in the Midwest.
Good Luck and thanks for looking!
