Horse Track & Fair Grounds (Day 4 added)
rjnail Gave me a lead from back when he used to live
in Schuylkill County.
The site is now woods & owned by a Real Estate Company.
so this morning I headed out to their office to ask for permission.
had permission 60 seconds after walking in the office.
Next Stop was the Police station in town,
as the land borders water company Property,
Plus wanted to give them a heads-up in case someone
yells Terrorists Surrounding Them :P
Policeman said he could not give me permission
for water company land, for reasons, I just mentioned above.
"Paranoia" these days, But said IF I stray over the line
there would be no problem, as long as I stay away from
the Thing-a-Ma-Jiggs.
So he wrote up an Incident Report, & I gave him one of my
cards to tack fast to it, so any officers coming in later
would also know.
Before I left I advised him a Friend & I will be in there off & on
throughout the rest of the year, if the site starts Producing.
and he took me into his office & showed me an old
map of the Track & Fairgrounds. Very Cool officer.
Well for the first hour, I was wadeing through
Knee high Grass & ducking under over Grown
Park Shrubs, only digging Trash.
Lotta bullet Shells.
Finally hit a spot with 2 Eyebrow pencils & a lip Stick
Found a Narrow road inside the woods
& decided to detect it & pulled out
a Penny 1981 which didn't impress me
so I decided to work my way out for the day.
Right before I hit the alley way I got what
sounded like a deep coin. but it wouldn't lock on &
the numbers read can tab area. but
because of it's obvious depth & because it was
between or under some large roots,
I couldn't pinpoint right, I decided to dig.
had to get down about 5" before my
probe could find it. From there I wen't down another
4 0r 5" on an angle & was scraping metal.
So I knew I either hit Water Line on a coin.
After I finally popped it out This is what I got.
Either Early Large Cent. face appears to be looking Right.
or Colonial Coin. Can't quite ID by the hair.
After Cleaning a little Better I'm pretty Sure I see 00
So I'm going to assume 1800

You can have the Trash too.
Sounds like it'll probably take a while to get all that trash out of the site.
