I just finished our last weekend hunting an old college/high school football stadium. What an amazing hunt! The field was built in the 50’s. It hasn’t been used since the early 2000’s, and is slated for demolition next summer for a new athletic complex to be built. We spent 4 weekends there from 8am to 7pm every day.The two of us have been hunting the place with a couple others invited in. Lots of ground to cover!!
We hunted 2 weekends last year and 2 weekends this year. Last year was insane! We have pulled so many coins out of this place. We figure we are close to 2500 coins pulled out of here! Yesterday was our last outing here for the year and we still pulled 120 more coins. Half of that were penny. The coin signals are getting less and less. We finally got the clad layer off and have been finding more silver and jewelry! We have been hoping for gold, but none was found. We chased all mid tones signals yesterday.
I swear kids were just throwing quarters at each other here. We found so many spills here it has been amazing. Also silver has been plentiful.
So many bests and firsts here.
Most quarters found in one day
Biggest silver!
Most silver found in one day (14)
Most clad found
Best spill of 2 walkers
$3.00 in quarters in one hole
Wheat penny spills
Wheat/Nickel/Mercury spill!
I would have never thought there would be this much change. I had hoped for some silver and have been blown away with the finds!
If you see an opportunity somewhere take the chance and start asking! Send emails. Knock on doors. If I wouldn’t have chased this place and asked for permission it would be gone next year. Then I would have to drive by it everyday and wonder. I didn’t think they would have allowed us in there, but they did! I sure hope we can convince them to let us in next year once they start scrapping off the dirt!
Pictures to follow.
