Been wanting to dig this place for about a yr now since my buddy and I found it late last fall but couldn't get on it until now.

It's an old fairgrounds partially on a church grounds and partially in a farm field now from 1860s - 1920s out in BFE near 2 small towns forgotten by time basically. Did a ton of research to find the place/exact spot and had to get permission from the church that now owns the property. So today we finally made the 1 hr drive but didn't get there until nearly 5;00pm since my buddy has wife/diggin issues and had to fight just to get a few hrs to go

I told him = if you've gotta fight every single time you want to go diggin = you've gotta find a new wife or just divorce and stay single! Hell, I've been thru 3 wives/long term relationships but my love for diggin still remains! I was diggin long before I met any of them and have been/will be diggin long after they're gone = is and has always been my philosophy

Didn't get any pics of the grounds themselves but here's what I got as for coins today.

Edit: Used Multi Kruzer with stock coil today. Moderate to heavy iron present on entire site. Very little modern trash

Nice coins !

Nice finds, your research paid off. Gotta love them old fairgrounds.

Sweet finds! Great marriage advice too.

Nice man!

Nice finds Wayne.----I've got the best of both worlds----A few good places to detect and a wife that loves detecting as much as I do.

Super nice---keep reporting !!

Nice!!!

Like the seated !!

Yes research is half the game!!The other half is knowing what to do when you get there.!!!

Looks like your batting a thousand!

I like it.

Thanks guys. Will update after the next go around.

Was hoping the seated add a cc mint mark. Look that one up!!

Trip #2 today.

Went back with the trusty Deus and scoured over some area for a couple hrs that I didn't get to last time.

Buddy didn't get anything worth mention but I got these 2 coins!

1850s/60s Silver .03 center (heavily worn)

and

an 1876cc Seated Dime

Couple more oldies, good job! HH jim tn

Beautiful silver!!

Sweet!

Some nice old silver and copper finds you got there!

2 good days, that's for sure

Man those 3 centers sure got used a lot.....you would think more would turn up. I guess their small size and thinness keeps them almost invisible to most detectors and operators.
Way to go MRH...gotta love an old farm where the farmers wife wasn't a very good seamstress or didn't darn pockets.

Nice looking Carson City seated dime

Right on!! WTG!!!

Thanks all

Round 3 coming up/stay tuned
