Elementary school Eldorado!

[Ridley]

I hunted an elementary school about 3 miles from my house today. The thing is I didn't know it was there until last week. It's strange because the elementary school is combined with a middle school.
Anyway. To my surprise. It was loaded with coins and GOLD! I found about $8.00 in clad and 2 14k gold rings. One sterling silver bracelet and a 9999 gold pendant.

It was a fun day! I'm happy just to get out and detect. Check it out...



Here's the pendant up close. Its pretty heavy.




Going back tomorrow. It's supposed to be 70 degrees.

Congratulations Ridley in a few days there you have really really cleaned up on some great jewelry finds and a good clad count both days. Sounds like you have hit a spot that has gone undetected for a while.

Awesome Jewelry!!!! Now that is a great precious metal 2 days.

Jeez! Keep it up and you are going to have to open your own smelter. Nice finds.

Rid,

Congrats on some awesome finds!
....maybe should hit this spot every week 'til ya come up empty? .... just a thought.
i'd take all that jewelry.........but 'specially the angel ring

I hope you all find a nice spot like that too. In a way, I have you folks to thank.

Looking at this MB inspired me to explore new places again. Otherwise I'd never have even went there.

On a side note. I dug up about 150 zinc pennies today and lost the 3 quarters I found to a broken soda machine.

That's the way this hobby goes. It's all good.
