Hello again to all!!
The weather has been good the past few days, soon to change with snow in the forecast the next 5 days, but I got out twice for short evening hunts at schools close to me. It was great to be out there enjoying a little bit of nice weather and in some great swinging.
Sunday evening for an 1.5 hours in the woodchips at a school I covered last April. I didn't find too many coins but managed several small keepers. A nice little enamaled pendant marked 925, two 925 marked earrings, and a sweet little pocket knife which is in good shape, not rusted. I also found a fake gold doubloon, the same one that is the wallpaper backround on TNet!! Unfortunately, I forget to include it in the photos as I was showing it to my daughter and had it in my pocket. Oops.
Monday evening, another 1.5 hour hunt, I went to the school that I had my photo taken that ended up on the Feb 07 cover of Western & Eastern Treasures. This place is surrounded by huge new mansion houses. I gridded a grassy area between the play structure and one of the swing sets. I found a lot of coins and one keeper, a small sterling cross. There were a lot of kids there practicing baseball and playing on the play equipment so several of them were following me around. They were respectful so it was kind of fun. I let one boy hold my finds for me so we both had a bit of fun.
I included both hunts finds in one set of photos. So here's the totals. 3 hours hunting. 82 coins for $8.04 total clad and the keepers mentioned above. I also found a bunch of junk jewelry and other interesting relics.
Best of luck to everyone. Have fun and happy hunting. Thanks for reading!
Smiles!
