Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Yesterday I was on my forth or fifth visit to a baseball diamond. Actually initially it was going to be one trip as the weeds were so high. All I was able to get was along the base lines and part of the infield. Then came the mower. I moved on to another diamond while he mowed. The next day I was able to easily start detecting the outfields. The first several trips produced lots of clad, a toy car, part of a padlock, a huge chain with a complete padlock, and lots of pull tabs and can slaw.

Yesterday started slow. The first row and a half produced zero signals. :BangHead: Then came the pull tabs and can slaw and unidentified metal objects. :BangHead: Found a penny.:thumbsup:

Then I got another signal and started cutting out a plug. The weed roots were really tough and I had to dig a deeper plug than I planned. The find was in the plug. I started knocking dirt off the plug. Caught the edge of a piece of metal. Oh, Great, another piece of can slaw...um, hold on, wait a minute...:hello2::hello2::hello2: One very thick, very heavy silver ring. :headbang::headbang::headbang:

Looks like a fun hunt,Thanks for Sharing!!
 

Very nice find in the ring! Also nice viper you got there! :D Good luck on future hunts there!
 

looks like a nice trip, "can slaw" love it, been wondering what to call the mowed drink cans!
 

Nice, that's a whopper! And looks like it would fit right into the Lord of the Rings world. :hello2:

I never even thought about detecting on the diamond itself! I've always detected around the stands and whatnot. You've given me a whole new bunch of detecting areas! :notworthy:
 

Good score on the silver spinner ring....hopefully some more finds waiting at that site....just go slow and do the overlaps
and the goodies will come.

Regards + HH
