My first silver coins! UPDATE

[incajoe]

I went back to the school where I found the silver 1909 medal for about an hour last night and I only found three coins. BUT they were 2 silver quarters (1936,1944) and a nice Barber dime (1912D). The problem is right after I found the dime a security guard rolls up in a golf cart and says, "Can I help you"? Yeah....he threw me out. So I guess I have to find a new spot. It's killing me though because I only searched a very small spot at this large school and I know there is a TON of good stuff still there.

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the head honcho at the private school and he granted me and my father permission to metal detect on the school grounds. I was very surprised I thought he was definitely going to say "no". I guess it does pay to ask. We're heading back there this evening. I'll let you know what we find. YEAH!

Contact the school today and speak to the principal....Ask permission. I am sure they would allow you to detect there. Explain that you are a professional and will ensure that the holes are properly filled....Let us know how you make out.


Good luck

Nice! It's frustrating to know more is out there and people don't understand what you're doing and that you aren't harming anything or anyone.

Re: My first silver coins!

I'll definitely take everyone's advice and see if I can get permission. I'll report back to let you know how I made out. I can't say I'm too optimistic. This is a fancy private school and I can't see them giving some schmo like me permission to dig holes on their precious turf. It can't hurt to ask though.

Really nice finds joe!
Ask, it's not hard, all they can say is yes or no.
At least you'll know..

Keep safe..

Great finds with the silver! The key there is that it is a private school so I am not surprised the security guard approached you. He was doing his job. Glad you were able to get permission, good luck!
