Late 1800's School Site Finds.

I've been researching a late 1800's school site for about a month. Found the owner and he said OK. Spent almost five hours there today and I didn't want to leave. The building was built around 1890 and was multipurpose it was used for the school, church and any community gatherings that happened. I don't know how long it's been gone but I'm pushin 60 and it's always been a farm field as long as I've known. Several first for me today and all I did was a Recon for coins. I have to believe there's more to be found.


1864 Indiana Head (my first IH and oldest coin to date)


1911 V Nickle (first V Nic)


XX23 Buffalo (first for me)



Flat Buttons, 41 Merc, Mini Pad Lock



10 GA shot shell bases and round ball (buck shot)

I have permission to dig about 10k acres of desert ranch land and have been told by the owner that there are old foundations on the property. This topic really got me thinking now of the possibilities of what may be there. Can't wait!!!

Well that should keep you busy for roughly a lifetime. Good luck!

That's funny and true. I may stop hunting in the city parks and focus outside of town now.
