Tuesday I obtained permission to hunt a church site that dates back to 1846. The present church was built in 1881 and the current office building was built in 1861. There was a school on the property from 1886 and had its last class graduate in 1968, the school was torn down in the 1970's. The grounds covers a large area with a couple modern buildings. I only had a few hours to hunt so I decided to move around to the different areas and get a sample of what was in the ground. I started hunting an area that once had a ball diamond on it and found some modern coins and a few wheats. I got a jumpy 12-30/37 at 7" that ended up being a costume ring with a red stone. My first silver was a small ring stamped sterling. I also found a nice military button, 20 wheats and $$2.05 in clad. The heart stopper of the day was a 1916-S Merc. Which was the only silver coin.
Wednesday I only had 2 hours to hunt so I headed to my famous grove and was not disappointed as usual. I dug another silver quarter 1964, a religious medal and 5 more wheats.
