Been Hunting an old Fairgrounds

Our Fairgrounds sits within a 340 acre County Park, and has several old home sites within the foot print!! and has been in use for 100 years!!!!! My favorite go to spot, 2 or 3 times a week
 

That is an amazing spot! I'm originally from Illinois. Where in Illinois are you?
 

Nice finds! WTG!
 

Thanks everyone,
I'm from Dallas City.
 

Dayum! GREAT finds, Duggr!

I just got exclusive permission to do a Fairgrounds that's been in existence since 1873, or so. The old speedway's been torn to hell, but some of the original buildings are still up...and I have several old aerial photos of the place, so I should be able to determine what used to be where.
 

My newest Finds Photo of my silver at the Fairgrounds...add four more Barbers to the photo

 

Whoaaaa!!! Good job!!!
 

I'm going to be hitting Knox County fairgrounds today. Fair just ended last night so I'm hopping to get a few good hits.
 

Place is going to end up being a "Career" for you, Duggr! :notworthy: Great work!
 

I ended up pulling 11 seated dimes out of that fairgrounds in 2015. All dimes though,
Oldest was an 1854 with arrows.
 

Very nice, indeed! My fairgrounds has turned out to be a bust so far, although it's given me my biggest spill to date...12 in a 5-inch hole.
