Haven't been feeling well for awhile, but sat. was to nice to pass up (50's) and sun to boot 8) I asked a friend of mine if he wanted to go flying with me and go eat some breakfast somewhere...so off we went thumbsup01 I seen a small town had not been to before so did a fly by and spotted a old grown over ball field so recorded it on GPS. When I got back home, grabbed the E-Trac and headed south an hour or so and found a abandon school and ball field :cheesysmile: Hunted for a few and found a few silver dimes and a couple of Jefferson’s and some kind of token, haven’t looked it up yet but looks cool 8) Thanks for looking--HH
Mercs are..42 and 25..Rosie's are..54d and 46d..nickels are..40 and 49..wheat is..40d

Nice way to find them new sites :yes: Not to many of us get that opportunity to hunt for sites like that lol Great idea and it payed off quite well thumbsup01

 

[Epi-hunter]

Beautiful photos... nice finds! That aerial photo makes me dizzy though

 

[bmattioli]

Awesome finds and a great story.. Who would have thought you could spy that spot.. Hit it again I would say..

 

[kurtnks]

Thanks bmattioli, Usually I can't see house sites and and parks and such very well..unless I buzz the town at 1000 ft :shocked04: Would get in a little trouble if I scared some poor old lady hanging clothes out on the line rofl This plane has a 180 horse Lycoming and will do 180+ knots, poor old grandma would jump out of her nickers. :shocked04: Saturday there where a few low level clouds so had to go under or around them,thats when I decided to check out this little town,that had a nice old ball diamond thumbsup01 Plan on going back when weather is warmer :yes: Here is a picture of that plane,its not mine crying01 but I helped biuld it and I painted it..the owner let me learn to fly in it and get my liscence in it.So when ever I get the chance... we fly :smitten:

 

[coinnut]

Nice plane. It looks like he takes very good care of it too! Since you may have caught grandma in an akward position, you should ask her permission to hunt her yard too rofl Who can say NO with their knickers down? :cheesysmile:

 

[SeabeeRon]
