OLD FAIRGROUNDS FINDS

[Swanie1]

The weather was beautiful and I got the urge to metal detect. I grabbed my faithful Garrett GTI 2500 and headed 27 miles to an old fairground that closed in 1957. I have hunted it a couple of times, each year for at least 25 yrs, after the crops are out and before they plant it in the spring. Each time that I have hunted it I have found silver. Obviously, any denomination, .10 or above, is silver and all pennies are wheats or older. I have never left there without some coins. Fortunately, the owner doesn't let anyone else go in there with a detector. This year, the field was in beans and they, recently, tilled up the ground so that the soil is loose, down to approx. 3". It couldn't have been any more perfect for metal detecting.
