Headed out this morning with a friend to check out an area that looked as though it used to be a neighborhood that had been knocked down. After spending 2 to 3 pretty much wasted hours (tons of trash, and almost no targets), a local came by and told us that the area was a trailer park that had been razed in the 80s, and had only been there 15-20 years.
After that bust, my friend suggests we go to an "old" school nearby. I am not sure how old it was, but in the 4 or so hours we spent there we did find a lot of coins.
Here are my totals:
18 Pennies (2 wheat cents)
10 Dimes
5 Quarters
41 Nickels.
1 Kids gold plated ring.
1 Pendant (unknown variety).
Thats right, I found more nickels than all other coins combined. In fact, the first twenty one targets I dug at this school were all nickels, not one other coin, or piece of trash. That has to be some kind of record.
After the 21 in a row, I started finding the nickels about every other good target.
The only thing I can figure is someone has been working this school pretty regularly, and they don't dig the low targets (which would also explain why I found no silver of any kind, despite plenty of other coins dating back to the 50s).
