castleberry Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 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 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you'll be as lucky as Simon (phrunt). Nah, nobody in the USA is that lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveg Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 NICE dig! Very nice Merc, congrats on it being your first, and WOW am I jealous of you living in middle Tennessee.
