Got out for a little over an hour Wednesday evening.
Took the E to scrub a small field/park behind a baseball field.
I arrived just as practice let out.
Nothing but clad for an hour--and not surrpising, but hoped to find a deep silver dime on edge as the place was used since the 40's.
My last swing of the day was a few feet from a pine tree that was just boiling tree tar. The whole trunk and
the ground was laced with it.
It was right in the vicinity I scored a mercury dime last season with my CZ, so I went with it.
Got a solid 10-48 and I was hoping for a half, but quickly resigned that notion and thought maybe a clad quarter that
up-averaged. However, the machine was singing like a spring robin --a little too good to be clad.
Dug down about 6" and there it was. I love finding these things! The boy scout rings are so much heavier.
I can't imagine how I missed it as I gridded the area with my CZ last year.
Only thing I can think of is that I saw a mid-sized block of cement with a metal piece just to the side of the area that might have been
laying over the top and masking it. Someone must have pulled it up from under the soil.
