First Silver For This New Guy


Recommended Posts

Used the historic aerial site to do some research and found that the local ball field was just a plain ole park at first ..circa 1960.. so give it a shot. Based  on the overlay I hit the original part of the park by some old trees and finally found my first silver ever .. 1941D Merc.. Hook firmly set now .. lol

Cheers

Bran

WTG, Castleberry!  Way to do your research; it paid off.  Hope there's more where that came from.  Maybe you'll be as lucky as Simon (phrunt).  Nah, nobody in the USA is that lucky.

How far down does your silver lay, in that park?  GaryC/Oregon Coast

GaryC this one was a solid 8" down, being the only one I have found so far not sure what a average would be

NICE dig!  Very nice Merc, congrats on it being your first, and WOW am I jealous of you living in middle Tennessee.  I spent a couple of years in the Nashville area (Hermitage/Old Hickory area), and I LOVED it there!
