My Alma Mater Highschool

[Monty]

Went to my old highschool today and checked out what use to be the smoke hole.? Looks like it is still in use although smoking on campus was outlawed several years ago.? Picked up quite a bit of clad. There should be some silver out there probably deeper. Used my ACE 250, but just got my Garrett GPI2500Pro and will go back and dig some deeper targets. Didn't see any telltale signs of anyone else digging there.

Good run! I went to my childhood playground and found 10 pennies, 3 dimes, A quarter, a toy, a whats it, and a spoon. Gave a penny to a little 4 year old girl watching me. You found more than me but I still had fun.

Keep it up HH!!

There's still dozens of targets there deeper than 6" but I wanted to cull off the shallow stuff first so it wouldn't mask the deeper ones. I'm still seeking silver!

WOW! You did great! Looks like a couple of pennies were on the verge of wheats. WTG!!
Update us when you've went back. Anxious to see your finds.

Nice finds, always nice to have a few spots of your own. Someone has started hunting the park that I've been working for a month now (I can see the "digs")...time to expand my horizons.

Awesome amount of digs,,,WTG!!!
I tried my old high school just the other day, like to have blow-ed my eardrums out from all the trash. I might save hunting there sometime when things slowdown...
Good luck on the silver, & happy hunting~

[lobsterman]

way to go Jimmy, i had thought of visiting the old high school in my old hometown, i also thought while i''m down that way i might try to get permission to check the houses that my parents grew up at, i thought that would be cool to possibly find something my parents may have dropped over 60 years ago .

Nice school run Jim,Sounds like you could dig that site for years.HH

 

[DJ_Quinn]

I'm sure you found a lot of change at the old school Jim....

 

[Emperor Findus Cladius]

Nice totals!! Looks like you education at that school is finally "paying off"!!!!!!

 

[Monty]

I've stayed around this area except when I was away in the service. I grew up here and there are so many places to detect. I know where things use to be 50 years ago and generally what has transpired since. The town was small enough when I was a teenager that I couldn't get away with anything because everyone knew me and my Dad. Now we have close to 30,000 people!

Congrad on the finds...I need to go back to my old grade school, word has it there were time capsules buried about 40 years ago and from what I hear, the school doesn't remember where at...wish me luck!!!Pepperpump

 

[Monty]

Wow! Would be neat to find that old time capsule. Most buildings in my area have corner stones with artifacts from the time the building was built. Sometimes the things are just buried under a corner of the building. I seldom read about one being opened or found and it makes me think the demolition crew secretly gets them or.....? They usually contain newspapers and letters from the Mayor, perhaps some photographs, etc., usually nothing in the way of treasure as a metal detector would describe it. But some of those things I would value above $$$ or gold.
