Default Small town Little League park

I just came back from a tiny little league park, and it was obvious it had never been searched before. Coins were everywhere! In a matter of a few hours I dug up 14 quarters, 21 dimes, 1 nickel, and 12 pennies. I only found 1 wheatie (1955). I got tired of digging up money, and probably only scanned 20% of the park. 48 total coins!

Gee whiz no wonder you got tired.
Digging up money can wear a person out.
But it sure is a nice tired, much better than getting tired from digging ditches.

I hunt 5 ball fields and they always seem to produce bunches of clad with a ring or two tossed in.

Nice finds. We have a fairly new park when I get bored I go there to pick up some drink money. Trailer style concession stand sitting in a grassy area. Always easy pickings.
