1870's School Grounds Produces Some More Keepers. Picture Intense As Usuall
Hello Fellow member's,
Got out again today for 3 hours....second hunt in months. Did better today than I have in a long time. I decided to go back to the grounds of the Woodstock grade school and high school. Both have been gone since the 60's but were very active in the day. I pounded the ball field last summer and raked in some semi-key date Indians, 5 to be exact. I have hunted it quite a few times but because it's so big it will never be cleaned out. I didn't take my camera so I posted a picture of part of the park which I hunted last summer. It's actually about 6 acres including the ball field. I've pounded it to death and no more old coins. So I decided to hit the very back part of the field where no one has hit. It's all by it's self. I took my time and dug every signal, even the shallow hits. I have to clean it up so i can get to the older coins. After about an hour I pulled an IH from 5 inches. I love my Ace 250 with the large pro-coil. That's all I ever use. Later on I pulled 3 wheat's, a 1920, 41 and a 44. I think I have dug 500 of those
Then I dug a sweet 1920. I moved to another part of the park near the ball diamond entrance and dug a sweet button a 6 inches. It has a copper back with no markings. I'm sure it's pretty old. Dug a bunch of clad, an old lantern top, some kind of copper token with 5 cents on it and the word "Landes" on it. I also dug some kind of pin and what looks to be part of an old pen or pencil Patent Great Britain Dated Aug. 1, 1893. Also dug some kind of weird looking part to something. The Indians were 1903 and 1905. No silver today. The only silver so far has been a worn out 1917 Merc last year from the ball field. Thanks for looking, Ron

I didn't know it was a pencil sharpner. Thanks Mr. Tuff. Ron
