Whites MXT PRO with Sunray probe, M6 with a Super 12 coil & a Whites Quantum II
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
It's been awhile since I have found a school that looks to have been not hunted ! The last time I hunted this school was back in 1999 with my old detector . I have not been back due to it now becoming a private school . Well as it turns out it is still owned by the local school district and open to metal detecting like other public schools ! This school dates from the early 1950's and the field looks to have never been changed . Yesterday I was only hunting for 15 minutes when I had a +78 at 4 inches , it turned out to be my first Mercury dime of this year ! It's a 1940 S . After that the rings started flowing for a total of two silver and three kids junk rings . I also found three wheats , 1920 something , 1953S & 1954 . The other two silver finds for Saturday were a 925 neck less and a 925 St. Christopher's metal . After all that I knew I was going back today !
This morning I started hunting at 7:30 am and had my first good find in 20 minutes . A really nice silver ring with a pink stone , #133 for the year ! Then about an hour later I had a +79 at 2 inches , a 2nd Mercury dime ! It's a 1945 S . Not more than 5 feet away I had a +78 at one inch , a third silver dime ! It's a 1960 D Rosie . The one other cool find was a small kings crown , I have no idea what it is for . Total clad for two hunts , about 5 hours is $12.73 .
Next weekend I'm going to start hunting the other field on the other side of the school ! :headbang:

Amazing Hunt Glen! Looks like you found a lil honey hole! I wish I coulda been there. Congrats on all that silver! :occasion14:
 
Nice, wow!!! I would love to be findin' silvers like that. And all the pretty jewelry. :occasion14: BTW, I was looking for coppers in my change purse this weekend and came up with a '52 wheatie. Happens to be hubby's birth year too. Whelp, that's my big find!!! :laughing7:
 
That's how you do it:headbang: Congrats on all the nice silver:notworthy:
 
man, you're smokin it on the rings this year :headbang:
 
Love the closeup pics in the school yard and love all your groovy finds! Once again silver coins and lovely rings! I guess the San Jose folks grease their fingers before they go outdoors or else they toss those rings away after one wearing, lol (yeah, I'm jealous!). Hope you find the most stunning ring of all before the year is out! Have fun! Andi
