Today's find is why I love hunting elementary schools , show & tell items get lost in the field !
I'll start with yesterday's hunt . My Son Carson , Ryan ( EAGLEFORCE ) and I hunted a school that we had not hunted before and it payed off for all of us ! Carson found a old pendent with Sanford University Blood Bank on it and his 2nd ever scout slide , he was happy ! I found ring #99 for the year ! It's a nice 925 silver band . I'll let Ryan post his finds , he was the big winner of the hunt !
Today I got a possible once in a life time find ! All three of us hunted a school that has been good in the past . Not more than 10 minutes Carson found a 1957 silver Rosie dime in the tot lot ! He was doing the dance ! I decided to start hunting the field off the playground . I found two quarters and then it happened , +94 strong !!! I'm thinking come on big silver ring , that would be a perfect #100 for the year . When I pull back the plug I had a heart attack , BIG SILVER COIN !!!! I saw the walking liberty and new I might have a silver Eagle . I call Ryan and Carson over before I removed it . I didn't want to take it out it looked so good in the dirt :laughing7: . I took a picture and then pulled it out , a one oz. silver Eagle !!! The kid that lost it must have just died . Like I said in the beginning elementary schools give up some great treasure ! This is a coin that was not even on my wish list . I would have I had a far better chance at finding a Morgan silver dollar . It's going to be hard for me to top this coin !!!
Ryan found another great find , I'll let him tell about , and Carson found his 2nd ring of the year , mood ring . The other great finds I had were a 1964D silver Washington and sterling silver bracelet .
This makes me just want to get right back out again !

Now that's what I call BIG silver....awesome score!
 
Awesome finds, and sharing it with your son is fantastic! You'll have a lifelong hobby together.
 
Thanks Kevin ! I did a cartwheel after dancing in the field :laughing7: It wasn't pretty :tongue3: .

Would of loved to see the cartwheels...lol. Your ears must still be ringing from the squealing in your headphones from that monster chunk of silver. What was the VDI on the ole M6?

It was a +94 and it sounded so good :laughing7: . I can't believe Ryan and I didn't find it back in January when we hunted that school last .

It has always been very special to me to uncover the hole and see that glint of silver. When it's a big coin, it's just that much sweeter.

WTG!

HH!
 
Nice find indeed! Looks a little nicked by a mower but that's fine.

And that pound of silver would be awesome to find, but almost impossible to lose... lol
 
Thats a sweet coin there Glen! :occasion14: What a week of silver for you. :headbang: That is the biggest dang silver coin Ive seen around here. Great finds for your son too. Im glad we hunt when and where we do, any week of the year! Congrats !!!!!
