It's been awhile since I have found a school that looks to have been not hunted ! The last time I hunted this school was back in 1999 with my old detector . I have not been back due to it now becoming a private school . Well as it turns out it is still owned by the local school district and open to metal detecting like other public schools ! This school dates from the early 1950's and the field looks to have never been changed . Yesterday I was only hunting for 15 minutes when I had a +78 at 4 inches , it turned out to be my first Mercury dime of this year ! It's a 1940 S . After that the rings started flowing for a total of two silver and three kids junk rings . I also found three wheats , 1920 something , 1953S & 1954 . The other two silver finds for Saturday were a 925 neck less and a 925 St. Christopher's metal . After all that I knew I was going back today !
This morning I started hunting at 7:30 am and had my first good find in 20 minutes . A really nice silver ring with a pink stone , #133 for the year ! Then about an hour later I had a +79 at 2 inches , a 2nd Mercury dime ! It's a 1945 S . Not more than 5 feet away I had a +78 at one inch , a third silver dime ! It's a 1960 D Rosie . The one other cool find was a small kings crown , I have no idea what it is for . Total clad for two hunts , about 5 hours is $12.73 .
Next weekend I'm going to start hunting the other field on the other side of the school ! thumbsup01
