Passed by my old spot and surprisingly they had scraped almost the whole field and had open ditches with newly installed pvc pipe . I thought WOW this is going to be great ! Unfortunately where they scraped they just went deep enough to scrape off the weeds . My very first hit was the 59 Rosie and it was only 4" deep as where most of my other finds . The piles next to the ditches didn't give up anything .The small silver ring above Frankie D. is the thinnest silver ring I have ever found but rang like a dime on the 5.3 equipped M6 .The 57D and 44S where the only wheats I found . All the gold rings I thought I would find turned into pulltabs and crap before I could get them to the surface .The two marbles , shiny nickel and the Mexican coin where eyeballed , surface finds .I got 4 hrs. in before my wife called to let me know my Brother in law and his girl friend were able to make it over for the dinner invite and dinner was about to be served ( which was cool as I already had about as much fun as I could stand ) . I've been waiting for this place to be scraped for years and it finally happened . I hate to sound greedy but I was expecting a little more than todays results . Another eyeball find was a 12" X 3/4 " X 1/4" piece of copper for my scrap bucket . Oh well , maybe next time .
