Super happy with my finds today went to the Old Town Square and found a 1968 Shell Oil Co. Advertisement presidential coin game token " that I sold it to a guy that was watching and asking me questions about the hobby for $5 " Who also tipped me off about the lodge across the street" , a silver ring that says "worth the wait" across the band on the inside it says ATSTER 925. and a 1944 wheat. Then went across the street to a old K of C lodge and found my first silver 1942 D Washington Quarter :-) accidentally hit it with a shovel and scarred the front :-( right after I found the quarter an older man walked by and told me that they were tearing down a very old house down the street from where I was whenever I got there they said I would have to wait until they remove the debris... The house sits next to an old church built in 1859 so I'm looking forward to them removing everything so I can start hunting. I was going to wait for them to finish but I decided go hunt in the churchyard didn't find anything but a little bit of clad and a what's it... So I decided to move over across the street to a elementary school that was built in 1951 - as soon as I got there I found in 1942 wheat penny. Around this time the low battery light came on :-( I went ahead and kept going all the way around the school found a bunch more clad and whenever I reached the front of the building again I searched a small grassy spot got a good signal and out popped a 1947 wheat "good the batteries are still going" I thought to myself. Right after I found the 1947 wheat, I got another good signal and out popped a 1946 silver Rosie. Two silver coins in one day is a personal record breaker :-D Woot! Woot! :-D
So happy I finally got a good day :-)

those places are the best esp. old school yards , found many great coins and rings town hunting , even got used to digging up hundreds of bottle caps and pull tabs.

Good Hunting ,
