All From An Old School

[RickRobinson]

I started detecting this spring and have been watching the forums for a while. I started with playgrounds and parks but I had been keeping an eye on a local school which is privately owned. Luckily, I was granted permission by the owner who had recently had the property cleared of brush and mowed.
Over the past weeks, I’ve visited the school several times and have been fortunate enough to recover some great finds.
Here’s an aerial picture of the property:


A plat map dated 1900 shows a school on the property:
