Hello,
Went back to Baseball city this afternoon. A couple of friends of mine and I have been hitting this park almost every day lately. It still produces silver even though it's been hunted to death for a long time. Today one of my friends found a 1918 S Mercury dime there. Very nice coin. I found 3 wheaties, 1936, 1951d,
and a 1952d. It was getting late and the rest of the gang decided to get dinner at Portillos. I said , hey it's not even dark yet, but they left anyway. So I kept swinging away. I kept going over the same area that I had been over and over many times. I noticed little spot where two plugs had been dug, not three inches apart. Thought to myself, two plugs so close together, must be nothing there. I didn't even scan it. Then a bit later, going round and round, I came across this same spot. What the heck. I passed my coil over the older plugs......bingo.....got a 12-45 signal very clear and strong. I pinpointed it and the signal was right between the two plugs but a few inches toward me, and a couple of inches deep. One little dig with my Lesche and there was the glint of silver. I was like....
holy sh..t how could have this have been missed. Cleaned it up with a bit of water. 1946 Roosevelt dime. That makes 10 silver coins out of this park this year. 5 this month so far. Again it was too dark to make a video of it.
Attached is a pic of the front and back of it.
Thanks for reading and HH all.
