Summer hunts 2 and 3

[McCDig]

Finds from two elementary school grounds

Hunt 2 was at an elementary school that opened in the late '50s and Hunt 3 at one that started in 1964. I've hunted both sites several times before. Never found silver at the late '50s school but have recovered a silver dime from the other.

There were just two deep targets from Hunt 2; the first, a '57D wheat and the second, a YALE padlock. Hunt 3 hand just one deep target and that was a brass connector that I think is used for overhead lines. Lots of clad between the two hunts, totaling $6.37.

Most interesting find came from Hunt 3, a Gray Rocks Ski School pin. Gray Rocks was a resort in Quebec that closed in 2009.

Well, for a change it's fun to rake in the clad. Sorry for the pun; didn't see it coming.

Thanks Professor! The '64 school has a lot more ground I need to cover. I think there's plenty of clad left.. and maybe another silver out there.

Congrats on hunting a couple of schools and rescuing those coins. The pins is a good find, and you can not ever have too many padlocks.

Thanks L-D! Man, that lock sounded good. Deep. Thought I had a good 'un. Hope to get back to the '64 school later this week.
