I went to this ball field last week for an hour and found the 1935 mercury dime, 1925, 1942 & 1944 wheat pennies and 5 other pennies and went back after the rain and found a 14K chain that weighed 15.19 grams between 3rd base and home and 54 cents change. Just had a couple hours and was finding pennies and a lot of can slaw and was tired and kind of disgusted because my time was running out and almost didn't dig the chain. HH. The dime has the full split back, but I could not get a very good photo with all the cloudy weather.

Thanks Jim. Dancer, I was using the 5 X 8 coil and swinging slow due to so much trash and can slaw. No scratchy sound but the way the digital numbers went all over the place made me suspect it could be, but digging those pennies and fighting all the trash had me so tired and disgusted, I almost didn't dig it. It was just under the grass about an inch and had probable been there some time. My pro-pointer was going nuts even with detuning and that made me suspect a chain all spread out and when I found the broken part it just pulled out of the ground like spaghetti. Sure made my day and up to that time I felt like finding a few coins was all it was going to amount to. Detected another 30 minutes hoping to find another silver coin, but got tired and headed home. It was a cold, windy day and late in the afternoon and I was starting to attract some unwanted attention and called it a day.
I worked the baselines figuring people trying to run or slide into the bases or steal home might just lose something and sure was blessed to find this chain. Behind home plate was trash city and where they tore down the dugouts, canteen and bleachers is a trash nightmare. Hope to hit it again Saturday after doing all the Christmas cooking for out little family. Plan to work shortstop and the outfield Saturday, but will probably take the GTI-2500 with me and use the large coil to work a quick grid and then hit the likely spots with the At/Pro. Found two coins in one hole and two bottle caps in one hole. HH.
Merry Christmas to everyone on these forums.
