I'm not going to post photos and take up bandwidth for common coins. Nothing earth-shattering. No meteorites either.
Hunted a c. 1921 high school for 3 hours today, from 1pm to 4pm. Am still leaning my new machine, but getting better at it.
I like digging trash, although with my White's Coinmaster Pro it is tiresome. The majority of signals today came from tiny metal bands still attached to pencils and erasers. Since most of these came from near the entrance of the school, it almost seems a school tradition to break the erasers off pencils and toss them on the front lawn: at least 30 of these, sometimes clustered together, but never with more than the eraser and band on them. No Wheaties. No silver. No jewelry.
2 dimes from the 1990's. Less than 20 years old. 8 pennies, including a 1991 Canadian that appears to still have mint luster on it. About a week ago, found a penny from the Bahamas and an elongated cent from the Disneyland Motel.
On another note, found a couple of post 1982 zinc pennies which were well-corroded already. One was only a copper shell of its former self, almost like copper foil. Anyone else finding these artifacts of pennies? Just curious.
