Didn't get enough Diggin in Va. last weekend so went Diggin in Ohio!
After returning from Culpeper Va.,and Diggin In Va. X, my partner and I went relic hunting in Ohio on Tuesday.
We started off at an old one room school house, then went to another one room school house and old log cabin site. All of these school houses have long been torn down and now are in a field. With some research, my partner and I often hunt these sites and more.
Gary, my hunting partner found a 1819 Busted Half Dollar, a 1890 Seated Dime, a 1943 Silver Washington Quarter, a 1910 V Nickel, 3 wheat pennies, one dated 1910, 2 IH's 1878 & 1902 and a token Good for 5 cents in trade, nothing on the front.
I found a 1853 Half Dime, 7 Indian Heads 1889, 1881, 1891, 1896, 1902, 1904 & 1909, I also dug a token, the writing on it is as follows, M Brunson Dealer in Dry Goods, Kenton, Ohio. On the other side it reads Fancy & Staple Dry Goods.
We really had a good day, can't wait to hit another old school, church or log cabin site.

I've got the plat maps for the one room schoolhouses in my neck of the woods....just never seem to get out to find the sites and gain permission. Too many family responsibilities. Maybe when I get my daughter off to college....

Everyones afraid of liability now days. There probably more afraid of a man metal detecting near a girl scout camp than anything. Too bad
