1940's Baseball Field Hunt

[Ziggy-Grimm]

MikeRo and I got out to a baseball field I've been researching that was built sometime in the 1940's. It is now nothing more than a farm field since circa early 1980's. It was polluted with pull tabs and beer cans (Behind a bar) but we found a sweet spot on the first base line all the way out to right field that produced some goodies. Mike ended up with 4 silver dimes, wheaties, and I got a nice SLQ and a merc along with some wheats and some clad. We put in 6 hours today on a beautiful day and had a blast! Can't wait to go back and dig some more soon!

The 1924 SLQ has got to be at least an AU50. Great details on the inner and outer rings. W. T. G.!!!!
