I obtain permission to hunt a Catholic Scools playground area. The grassy area I wanted to hunt had a ball diamond on it at one time. I have a 1941 photo that shows the diamond location. My first find was a deep wheat so I thought this is going to be fun. After about 9 wheats I finally hit a silver a 1941 Washington. I found 5 more wheats and $2.34 in clad. Four of the wheats were part of a pocket spill which included two Canadian cents 1932 & 1944. I also found a couple of tokens, a junk ring and a few other trinkets. I made 6 passes on this ball diamond sized field, so there is much more to cover.

Nice wheat haul. :clapping: And the silver quarter sweetened it too. Those are fun hunts for sure.

Looks like there is quite a bit of potential here for a person with your skills and machine. :yes: :->
Congrats on all the Wheat cents and especially the bigger silver. Sounds like a big area to
search around and eventually do the grid thing.

There's definitely more silver waiting for you here. :->

Silver Washingtons are always great to find. Congrats! Love the marbles too!

Very nice recoveries for such a small area that you covered. The anticipation of getting back there must be killing you. Congrats on the nice wash quarter and the pile of wheats. Those early Canadian penny are cool too.

Nice hunt, with all those wheats, that site owes you more silver.
