Keepers at an old school house...LC & CW Store Card

You can't believe how many times I have driven by this schoolhouse, which is on a main highway in our area, and thought about stopping. I have had permission for the last 2 years to detect it but you know how pounded most of the schoolhouses are, especially in my neck of the woods. I talked to the owner about a week ago and he has owned it for the last 20 years and only 2 people have asked and detected it to his knowledge. Both of those guys use decent machines but I have been excited the last few days about my SE and the program that Bryce put me on. I only hunted the front yard. Took it slow which lasted about an hour and a half. It was clear that it had been picked over even though I pulled a few shallow clad coins. The CW store card was deep and barely chirped. The LC rang in pretty good and I thought I was going to pull out a deep silver quarter. Much to my surprise, another LC and this one is in much better shape than the last ones coming out of the fields. I still have a side yard and back yard to cover so hopefully another keeper or two can be found. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Which is why I keep going back to an 1870's church! Haven't found anything very old yet as almost all of the imagined high traffic areas have either been paved or lots of gravel fill. My son-in-law did find a 1949D Franklin half in real great condition though. Great finds and I hope you get a lot more from that old school site.

That just goes to show no place is ever hunted out! Put a good machine in the hands of a smart detectorist and the results are shown in theses finds! Great job Mark!
