Today's find is why I love hunting elementary schools , show & tell items get lost in the field !
I'll start with yesterday's hunt . My Son Carson , Ryan ( EAGLEFORCE ) and I hunted a school that we had not hunted before and it payed off for all of us ! Carson found a old pendent with Sanford University Blood Bank on it and his 2nd ever scout slide , he was happy ! I found ring #99 for the year ! It's a nice 925 silver band . I'll let Ryan post his finds , he was the big winner of the hunt !
Today I got a possible once in a life time find ! All three of us hunted a school that has been good in the past . Not more than 10 minutes Carson found a 1957 silver Rosie dime in the tot lot ! He was doing the dance ! I decided to start hunting the field off the playground . I found two quarters and then it happened , +94 strong !!! I'm thinking come on big silver ring , that would be a perfect #100 for the year . When I pull back the plug I had a heart attack , BIG SILVER COIN !!!! I saw the walking liberty and new I might have a silver Eagle . I call Ryan and Carson over before I removed it . I didn't want to take it out it looked so good in the dirt :laughing7: . I took a picture and then pulled it out , a one oz. silver Eagle !!! The kid that lost it must have just died . Like I said in the beginning elementary schools give up some great treasure ! This is a coin that was not even on my wish list . I would have I had a far better chance at finding a Morgan silver dollar . It's going to be hard for me to top this coin !!!
Ryan found another great find , I'll let him tell about , and Carson found his 2nd ring of the year , mood ring . The other great finds I had were a 1964D silver Washington and sterling silver bracelet .
This makes me just want to get right back out again !

Nice chunk of 999. Congrats!
 

I thought finding those were myths until now!

Congrats! Definitely, once in a lifetime!

NIce job all!!!! :icon_thumleft::icon_thumleft::icon_thumleft:

All my weekend hunts got cancelled due to severe storms (:
 

Glen you killed it on that one!:headbang: Very nice can you say BIG SILVER:occasion14:
 

Finding a large silver eagle--lucrative. The memory you & your son will have forever--priceless. Congrats!
 

Glen,How COOL is that,gets me a little HOPEFULL at the school yard I started today,5 hours,56 quarters,haven't counted the smaller change yet,it's a mess though,3 ballfields,and a huge playground,with a SPRINKLER system that makes for some right nice diggin in this heat.I'll be there at 6:15 in the Morning,just has to be something GOOD!!! God Bless Chris
 

Great finds. Who sends their kids to school with silver bullion in their pocket? Or, who just carries them around. Glad they did for your sake... gonna be hard to repeat that one....hope you do!
 

wow! it's not every day you see a silver eagle dug. that's crazy.
