Old high school still putting out.

[Dan(NM)]

I got out yesterday and today and hunted an old high school here in town that's been giving up stuff since 2000. The heat was almost too much to handle, 100+ both days, hunted 3 hours yesterday and 2 1/2 today. Scored 2 wheats, a war nickle and a merc yesterday, SLQ, 2 wheats, an aluminum button and the pendant today. It's been a while since I've dug a SLQ, she badly worn, but beautiful to find. I was running the Etrac in my cherry picking mode because it was too damn hot not too I know what you guys are gonna say, your missing stuff running like that. Normally I run an almost open screen but, conditions, heat and laziness forced me too.

Nice digs Dan, it's great when you can pull many keepers on back to back hunts. The old schools in my area have been hunted out. I believe there were many detectorist in this location back in the 70's and 80's. Thank God they did not clean all the private properties though.

Congrats on the sweet silver and wheat pennies.
Believe it or not, , there aren't too many schools in NYC that have open lawns. Most of the schools have perimeter lawns that are fenced in and locked.
Nice couple of hunts.

Sweet silver and a wheat! Nice!

The high school here has tons of trash, extremely difficult to detect.
