Went to a ball field I’d hunted before, the one where the caretaker had mentioned getting me a permission elsewhere. I pulled in about 7AM, his truck and a couple others were parked next to the pole building. Door was open so I went in.
Evidently a few of them gather for coffee and a biscuit each morning, so I sat down and had half a cup of coffee. He said he’d been meaning to call me, about the permission. He said he needed to take a weedeater out and knock some of it down, and drew me a map and gave me his number in the event anyone said anything, I knew right where it was.
So I hit the ball field, dug $2.77 in about an hour. Decided I was going to run home, grab the weedeater, and go to the shack he told me about. After an hour of making short weeds out of tall ones, I swung the detector for about an hour. MAJOR trash everywhere, and as a bonus, power lines right over the entire (narrow) property.
Had an 11:00 appointment, so left to grab a shower to make that. I plan to go back tomorrow and take the predator, as I didn’t intend to hunt today, but whacking the weeds took less that I expected.
Had a solid 85, thought for sure I had at least a penny…nope, the flat washer you see in the pic. LOL, oh well. I think we may get some rain tonight/tomorrow, I hope, as the ground is dry and hard as hell there. Plan to remove a bunch of the trash to see if there’s anything there. No place else to hunt currently, so just as well be there than home.

And after Gauntlets Lawn Service cleared the way:
On the right of the house in the 1st pic, you can see the pole for the power lines. I’m standing by another, and there are several of them in a row, right over the house.
