Cheap Thrills

In the quest to find the elusive silver I've been driving to my old neighborhood and some of it's nearby areas the last few weeks .
Not the best of places to be hunting in these or even good economic times .Today I managed to get in a 3hr. hunt at an old school I attended briefly in the fifties . before I caught the attention of some Gangsta's driving by .I know when it's time to leave and I did fast .I will, at these type of places keep my car very close by . Similar thing like this happened last week . Young punks have scouts out walking and if they spot opportunity they get on their cell phones and before long the troops show up . The Scouts are easy to spot coming as are the troops .The Troops or Thugs come in at the same time from as many angles as they can . Anyway enough of that on with the finds ,I hunted this spot several years ago and only found a little clad so I kind of new what would be an ideal rig for this spot . I used a White's M6 with a 5.3 coil and did ok .Besides some zincs and other junk I found
a 45'Merc ,60D Roosie ,5wheats 36D,39S,45S,48Sanad a?? . Also $1.03 in clad ,a cool paperweight from ? a play 10C money coin , 2 marbles,a padlock a part of an old padlock and a common local present day theater game token ( not pictured).. Also included are picture's of my best 2 finds from last week a 1941 silver quarter and a very old and crusty San Francisco Dept. Public works badge #358 . Other than the stuff shown here I have only found a 54D Roosie , a few wheats and 3 junk earrings in tot lots (two of the earrings are matching and were found within 2 weeks of each other . Except for todays finds most of my other finds where made with a Standard T2 .I've been extremely busy lately and it has been cutting into my detecting and posting time . Hopefully things lighten up a bit soon Thanks for looking . thumbsup01
