Football Field Hunt #2 Not What I Expected

[piggman1]

I went out early this morning to do another hunt of this football field that had a good yield the first area I hunted. I decided to hunt the area that I thought everyone had to cross to get to the field, and where the kids probably played during the games. I really thought I would find a lot of clad, and most likely a few pieces of jewelry. It turned out just the opposite. I found very few coins, one wheat that I can't read the date yet, and no jewelry. I did find a lot of other neat things. I found a lot of lead and slag, lots of pieces of things unknown, and the few things I have in the picture. The slag in the picture is not lead, or soft like lead. It is very heavy and a silver color when I tried to scratch it. Probably a lead alloy of some sort, and the only piece like it I found. I found way more than the pic shows, I just wanted to give an example of the finds. This hunt was really pretty cool because you never knew what you were going to find next. I'll hunt more of it in the morning.

Very nice display of your items. Nice pic.

That sure is one large area to cover. Looks like a lot of good hunting and good finds in store.

Good luck on your site.

Cool finds, Piggman..I was afraid from reading the title of your post that you had found more spacenuts in this field. I think if that had happened the earth might just stop spinning on it's axis.

Another military item! Do you know about the history of that site?

Congrats on those finds! Nana

This site and all the neighborhoods around it used to be a ranch that I more or less grew up on. Nothing but rocks and cedar trees. That was before civilization took it over. Not far from this spot were caves that had been hand filled long, long ago. There were also rocks with symbols carved into them like turtles and roman numerals on this ranch. I KNOW that there is hidden treasure sitting under someones house out here somewhere. The ranch used to be 620 acres, I think, maybe more. Now, it looks just like any city neighborhood.

Hey Piggman, I was beginning to wonder if you ever found the same kind of junque that I do...nice to see that its not just me. That football field has the same configuration that the soccer field I started a couple weeks ago. Not a lot of signals at my field, only dug the near surface items (with my screwdriver). Now that we are getting rain it should soften up some, its been real crumbly. Hope you find something good there despite the slow start.

OHHHH! The possibilities!!! 8) Sounds like a fascinating site!

Most of the fields I do have the pull tab, shredded aluminium type junque. At least this one has some neat junque, and almost zero pull tabs and shredded aluminium. I don't mind finding the neat junque.
