A few weeks ago I was scouting this town for hunt sites and I saw what looked like a great site. There was a large old high school gymnasium and next to it an old football field. There were concrete support structures for the bleachers and all the seating was gone!!!! I assume the seating was old wooden planks that were removed. There was nothing to obstruct the ground where the old seating was. Well, I didn't hunt it then, but today I drove through the town again and I stopped at the county health clinic and asked if they knew whether the property was still public or if it was private. She said the county mowed it. Ok, so now I know it is public. As I drove around to the other side I see a pickup with a mower in a trailer and on the side of the pickup it says, XXXX County Building Maintenance. I pull up and the guy was just getting out. I asked him if anyone would care if I hunted the field with my metal detector. He was like no, go for it. Wahooo, I'm in.
The only area I could search today was the area under where the bleacher seating was. Lots of trash. There happened to be a garbage can with wheels there so as I detected I pulled the garbage can along and threw the trash in there. Today I got a handful of clad and two wheat cents. I plan on going back, hopefully tomorrow.
