Went out for a short little hour long hunt at a local park/baseball field yesterday. I didn't get much in the way of coins...only 61 cents, but I was hunting an area with not a lot of foot traffic just seeing what was down there. Found a TON of fence wire from when they built the outfield wall, and your usual can slaw and pull tabs. I did manage to find a pretty neat "Little League District Baseball" pin, probably from the 90s, as well as a nice little section of really old 2 prong barbed wire from when the park was a horse farm many years ago. The find of the day, however, is that entire piston/connecting rod assembly. That was down about 8-10" and gave my detector a FIT...it didn't know what to beep...iron, aluminum, steel, chrome moly....it's all in there! I had to dig it because it was such a strange signal. At first I thought it was the back of an artillery shell casing (looking at the top of the piston) and when I got it out I was amazed...and so confused as to why something like this was way out in the middle of a field by a baseball diamond...lol its it's a mystery! I have to clean it up and see if there is is a part number on the rod so I can see if it's ford chevy or mopar. I know these aren't spectacular finds, but they are finds nonetheless and I had a blast digging them. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
