If you're pulling 45 coins an hour, you're obviously doing something right.

I'd suggest maybe doing a little research, and choosing a place that's more likely to have older coins.

Congratulations on the 1934 wheat cent! If the school is old you will find more coins and probably silver.

Keep at it and good luck!

That's a nice pull. I'm happy digging wheats, even though I'm shooting for silver. I still probably get a little too happy with copper...

Silver will come when you least expect it but you will be so happy when it does. I find my best and oldest coins doing research on old homesites long gone and just fields now. Good luck and you will be posting your first silver soon.

It took me two or three years before I found my first silver coin. Once you get on some early sites for your area and learn how to read the land, the older coins will soon follow. If you're finding pennies from the 30's, there is a good chance silver is near by. Good luck!
