Finally found this lost baseball field in the woods that I’ve been looking for off and on for a while.  Always suspected there was or should be a field there, but could never find it on the historical aerials, and finally did.

Once you know it is there, it is obvious to see; why I never found it before, I dunno.  In my defense, these aerials are quite large, not cropped down like this.

And the evidence, the old backstop found.  Unfortunately, quite overgrown.

More pics of the site.  I’d say about 5-10% of the terrain is actually swingable.  You have to crawl under branches and thru brambles and thornbushes to find these little clearings under the canopy where the thornbushes and underbrush don’t grow.

Given the low likelyhood that the site has been detected hard with an E-Trac, if at all, it seems likely that I’ll be pulling silvers out of here by the bucketfull, right?  Well, we’ll see. yesterday’s take, proving the site is viable —

I dunno.  I’ve probably hit 50% of the clear areas already.  Either the veg goes down this winter, or the land is cleared someday, or this will probably be about it for this site.

Too bad, as these things go.  Last time I found an old ballfield site, I think I found 14 silvers.

But, for me, its also about finding the site in the first place.  Hard to believe that I’ve been looking for this off and on since I started detecting.  Not hard or aggressively, but off and on.  Why I could not see it on the aerials before, who knows?
