I wanted to share the story of this one particular park I have been hunting for about 7 years. There are a couple of other people who detect there on occasion but I believe I am the only one who detects there almost every day. The history of this park is it use to be part of a plantation until the early 1900s. Then, prior to WW2 it was a small airfield. Now, it is a very large park divided into three sections. Two of the sections are mostly new baseball fields (fenced) with an open field in-between where there is a batting cage, pitching mounds and an open area where they play soccer. On occasions, during the summer months they have one of those big air slides with water going to it in this field. The third section of this park is one very large open field where they set up soccer fields. I would guess this area to be about 80 acres. Over the years I have pulled about $500 in clad out of this park. However, in the past year I have found 2 V-Nickels (1901 and 1893 my oldest coins to date) and a few rings (silver and gold) in the section that is a big open field. I know this area has never had fill dirt brought in nor has it been cleared. I have found old farming parts and horse tack in this field but I have never found any silver in this section. Now, the field in-between the baseball fields I have recently found a merc dime and a silver quarter both from the early 1940s along with A LOT of aluminum type metal that looks an awful lot like aircraft grade aluminum to me and some Ford model-T parts (hub caps and radiator cap and a key). I am thinking this area might be where they parked and worked on the aircraft because the dirt in this area is hard packed and has a slight petroleum smell to it. I am torn between these two areas. Using the GPS on the CTX3030 I have started gridding and mapping both areas. Based on the information I have given, which area do you think I should concentrate my efforts first
