And Probably Twice as Many Thorn Bites in the same time ;D

I got Down to the OLD Twin Grove Park Today.
First time in about 5 Years.

I found the Bottle Dump, I believe. There were Bottles & Glass Everywhere sticking partially out the ground.
It's Gonna Take Time to I.D. THEM.

I also Found Out what 5 years of Growth can do.
Back then I could Walk up to the Pool And See the Sidwalk, The Fence Standing In the Back, The Cement Bottom of the Pool With Rebar Sticking Out The Cement, ETC.
After Searching For What Seemed Like Hours,Weaving In & Out Of Thorns, Walking in Circles, Crawling on My Knees, Etc. I came to It. What A shock.
It looks Like A Natural Hole in the Ground.

I was Able to Find the Ticket Booth & Concession. And Right Against theCement Foundation, at About 3" deep MAX. I found 53 Cents.
2 Washington Quarters 1941 & 1944
3 Wheat Cents 1941 , 1946 & 1946

Intersting pics it looks like you sure made a day of it. I remember days of picking berries and coming home with torn tears all over and bloody but the bounty of the day made it worth while. Nice silver. Without you pointing out the face I couldn't see it either :-\ I guess I have no imagination but I see it now. HH
