Hunting An Old mill House Field

[Clad2Silver]

On Saturday I spent two hours and forty five minutes hunting a sport field located next to some old mill houses that date back to the late 1800's. I was hoping to find a silver coin or two but it wasn't in the cards. I did manage to dig up 51 clads worth $7.79 so at least it wasn't a waste of time. I also dug four toy cars and a Cub Scout neckerchief slide. The oldest coin of the day was a corroded 1940 wheat cent.

The Hot Wheels food truck and the Wolf neckerchief slide are nice bonuses.

Why was a field next to an old mill house so rich in modern coinage, etc.?

The field is next to a group of old mill houses that date back to the late 1800's........1882 to be exact. A few of the mill houses were demolished years ago and the land was made into a park. The park has a soccer field and
a baseball diamond on it.
