Locked School Left the Gate Open....Gold & Silver!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Most elementary schools around here have large fences and locked gates. So you can't metal detect them any more. As a result they are accumulating a large amount of targets in the play areas. Today I found a school with a gate open and proceeded to hunt the 4 woodchip boxes in the school. The coins and other targets were everywhere! When I finished after 3 hours of hunting I dug out $13.00+ in clad, 1 wheatie, 1 Sakie dollar, 4 foreign coins, miscellaneous charms, 1 sterling ring, 1 sterling silver bracelet, and a 14K gold chain with a St Mary pendant!
With all these locked schools around it makes you wonder what's in them?

I'm seeing "2.39" embossed in the bottom of the bowl of that spoon. May be surface patination, stain, et.al. where something sat in the bowl around the embossing--maybe liquid.
