While driving by the Old Ballpark last week I got this feeling that I needed to hunt around there, and while the Ballpark was occupied at the time and I did not want to draw attention to myself I did notice a small park next to the parking lot, seeing basketball and tennis courts adjacent to it, I decided to swing for a bit, I have always had luck around the outdoor basketball courts and decided to hit that first, walked over to the nearest corner and started swinging, an hour later I had only gone half way around the court (area marked in Red) and pulled an amazing 73 coins out of the soil (all clad) the oldest penny being a 1962, was 59 Pennies, 3 nickles, 6 dimes and 5 quarters. again that was only half of the basketball court. Now that baseball is done for this summer, I will try to get closer to the stadium , after I hit the second part of the basketball court. Yellow area is Hammond Park, Green Area is Rathert Stadium
Historical Information: Hammond Park is named after the first Black family to settle Junction City, Kansas. Rathert Stadium was built in 1930 as part of Roosevelts New Deal!
