Default Nothing exciting at the soccer field

I hunted a few soccer fields over the past year and found one silver medallion and that is it. Usual clad also and a set of keys. Gave up on them but noticed the scraped the grass so I had another 'looksie' Nothing exciting, 3 quarters(2 of them well away from the soccer field), 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 7 cents in 1.5 hours. More pulltabs that I have seen in a long time, many on the surface and I had to give up on them as there were just too many of them. The 'newer' ones, not the old style pulltabs. WTF - it like every person there rips them off and tosses them

I did add 2 more bullets to my collection. I know I found at least one more there, perhaps two. May or may not hit it one last time. Hard to believe just one piece of silver lost over years and years of soccer playing.

That's the way it is everywhere, some places are better than others, at least you gave it a try.

I went hunting at a new location this past Sunday, and found nothing but trash. At least I cleaned up the park a little bit. Hang in there!

Hey Oz you were out swingging, and digging! The rest is a bonus. I have done well in soccer fields around the goal area. Lots of activity and lots of pockets and hands. Anothet area to look for are the bleacher or bench areas. Hit those also if you can.

Good luck to you on them, Beale.
