Never rule out "worked out" sites
Went to the local school about a mile from my house. Have hunted this site, on and off, for the past 30 years. My last hunt turned up two of the more unusual finds that I have found there. One is a disk measuring 2 1/4" in diameter with the marking, Navy Day 1942. The other was unknown, until the May issue of W&E Treasures.
There on page 30 was a picture of my Hotchkiss fuse plug from the Civil War. How in the world these hadn't been found before now alludes me. In all fairness, the reason I keep hunting the school, is because I had found a 1805 dime and a 1841 half dime. So, I knew the land held some real good targets. If I had given up on this "worked out" site they would still be in the ground waiting for someone else to find them.
