Finally !

Little update on the ball park. I went back for about 3 hours before the kids show up. I found a couple more wheaties 1941 oldest. 4 nickels in the early 40's and then found a 1964 silver Rosie dime. I's funny how I have only found 3 silver coins and all three are 1964 Rosie dimes in 2 different locations 30 miles apart lol. I've been over the whole ball field twice and all of the area around it. I'll probably go again after the weather clears up supposed to be stormy here later today and tonight so spending some time looking for another promising site.

Keep digging the nickel signals. With all those early 40/41 nickels, you're almost sure to find a War nickel out there if you keep at it.

Your detecting skills are paying off nicely!

After what seems like forever I’ve finally started to find older stuff. Started the other day at an older ballfield when I found a couple of nickels in the early 40’s then followed that with a very nice 1925 wheatie. Sweet. Went back today and again started with a 1940 nickel then a 1941 nickel. Very next target on the 900 rang up a solid 64 @8” tried another angle and rang 64-65 but very clear. I was sure it was going to be can slaw or similar trash. I dug it anyway. Out came my very first ever Indian Head Penny in pretty good shape but unfortunately I cant make out any of the date. Funny part is this ballfield was built in 1947 but I have found several coins several years earlier. Now by alot of peoples standards these arent huge finds but to me theyre great. Now to find some Older silver!

Lots of the open areas that over the years were ball fields were previously used for other purposes ie/campgrounds, fairgrounds, picnic areas, rodeos, parking lots for tents etc. of traveling preachers. Unfortunately, this information is mostly lost over time and all we can do is hope to get lucky!!

Luck to Ya,

CJ
