* Whoops I mistakenly posted "190 minutes", actually it was only 90 minutes. I changed the title accordingly.

I went for a quick 1 1/2 hour hunt at the private school tonight and found a spot with a high amount of targets. I was cursing the setting sun because I was doing so well. I got a little of everything tonight. Old coins, gold and silver jewelry...This place has it all! I even got a 1920 Standing Liberty Quarter which is a first for me. Here's the breakdown of all the stuff:

1920 Standing Liberty Quarter
1945 Mercury Dime
1947 Roosevelt Dime
2 silver rings
1-14K gold St. Christopher pendant
$1.50 in quarters
$1.70 in Dimes
$.20 in Nickels
$.17 in pennies

Total face value $3.57
ALL IN 1 AND A HALF HOURS!!

When it rains it pours!

I'm glad you had such a fantastic hunt!

You can always go back and get the rest later!


Congratulations!

Notice that several of the clad coins have bright spots. There were several pocket spills with the coins stacked on top of each other. I love it when that happens!

I really need to go back to this place and spend some serious time there. Every time I go it's for an hour or two. So far I have found coins from 1695-2007 (that spans 5 centuries!), jewelry, relics. I mean it when I say this place has it all! My father had a killer find here last week that he should be posting at some point. I won't spoil his post by telling you what it is.
