It's been so hot here for the last month, that one just doesn't feel like going very far or spending much time outside, especially when the humidity is in the 80% range. But, I have been going over to a grade school that is close to the house, and hitting it for about an hour or two each evening, just to keep my "ear" tuned to my old MD. I never think that I will find much, but it is always fun to see what turns up.

Pictured below, are shots of the piles of clad and other items found. Some of the unusual items were a aluminum cross with "God Loves You" on it, a token from Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota, a silver ring, and a 1928 wheat back penny. That was a surprise, as the school just isnt' that old.

The coin totals were as follows: 6 quarters, 21 dimes, 5 nickels, and 41 pennies. Not too bad, considering I had done this school last fall.

Excellent finds, looks like alot of fun.
 
Nebstater, I hit that same school about a month ago but the weather was extremely hot and the ground had some serious cracking from the heat. Congrats on the finds and happy hunting. Oh, by the way my finds were slim, a couple of clad coins.

I was rather surprised, especially when I came up with the nice ring. I found one over there last fall, but it didn't compare to this one. Do you do any other hunting around here? Would like to meet some other MDers here in the Star City.
 
Still have to find a cross with my Detector. Awesome finds.
 
Nice finds. Good assortment of stuff. Love the silver ring and the Winter Park ski pin. I was just skiing there in April. Been there many times. HH

Nice haul you made there. Great looking ring.
Congrats to you,

Nice finds, and a sweet ring. I can't wait for school to start so the places will be replenished.

I found a silver crusifix made in Italy last summer in one of our local parks. This one was only the second one that I have found.

Thanks
