Sure why not. I've done a few old school yards and found silver coins.
Do you have to wait until they close?

Heck yes. Hit the loitering area near the bus loading spot, sidewalks, shade trees, outdoor picnic tables, playgrounds and ball fields. Going to be trashy with gum wrappers and such, but should be worth the effort. Good luck!

We will have a big consolidation coming up next year so we're looking forward to that too. Good luck with yours.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'd have been on those schools a long time ago.

I know, I know! Let’s check it out together. I’ll buy lunch if you bring two of those fabulous horses.

So we have three schools in my area that are going to be consolidated in the next year. All three have been active since the early 1900's. Are these worth digging once they close up?

Where you at in Carolina? You'd likely make many friends here if you told us where you are :)

all the Schools around here are getting makeovers, that mean a lot of dirt piles sitting around. Don't forget to search those piles since it's mostly top soil.
