Second Time Out

I started out the day by returning to the previous area that I had been to before.  I searched around the gravel parking areas.  It had been raining the previous week and the ground was still damp and had puddles in some areas.  The area had also been recently inhabited by a flock of sheep that were used to control weeds.  Their droppings were everywhere and had a very strong smell!




After a while, after getting many strong signals, all I had dug was trash.  It was all pieces of metal and one battery.  A few of them were symmetrical metal bars.  I was hoping I had found some type of valuable metals that were cast into bars.  If it wasn't for all the rust, I would have been more excited!.   I believe the area was made from dirt fill of all the construction for the houses in the area and included all the debris from being built.  I decided that additional searching in this area would not be beneficial, and I left to go to another location.

I moved to a nearby sports park and searched around one of the baseball fields that was not being used.  I started by searching along the sidewalk, and then around a maintenance shed that was in the outfield area.  I mostly dug construction debris (nails, wires) and a few pull tabs.   I searched a small hill that was beyond the outfield without any hits.  As I moved around to the other side of the field, I got multiple hits around a small tree that resulted in several coins.

All the digging left me with a large blister on my thumb.  I will have to add a pair of gloves to my supplies to prevent this from happening again!
