Tuesday I hunted another old ballfield at a Catholic church. I located this site from looking at old aerial photos and plat maps. This is a different site than my last hunt which was a Catholic school yard. The first ten minutes produced a pair of Mercs 45-D and 42. It was two hours and two wheats before the next silver then I had a good run of Rosie's and a sterling ring. The Rosies are 48-S, 52-D, 54-D and 55. I also found $1.44 in clad and a pewter cross.

Awesome hunt! You sure get on to some sweet spots! Tough to do in the city, everyone is so paranoid, it's tough to get permission. Much easier when I go out of the city and hit the smaller towns up north.

Great silver,FF!! Except for the slight marks at the top, that 45' merc looks like it was lost fresh out of the mint.Nice!!

Great batch of silver Jeff. :clapping:
Two Mercs is a nice hunt, but once the Rosies started rolling in sure made for some exciting digging. <:
