New Medium Strip in S.F. Produces more Silver!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Hunted two areas in San Francisco today. The first spot was a 1920's elementary school. Dug up quite a bit of clad at the school, over $7.00. Also dug up 3 wheat pennies there. After working the school I headed over to a medium strip that was about 20 feet wide and about 300 feet long. Did much better there. Dug up 4 wheat pennies and 3 silver coins. the oldest was 1929! I drove by this medium strip at least 50 times while going to hunt other parks in the city. Glad I finally stopped and hunted what turned out to be a pretty good spot! 62 degrees in the city made for a very comfortable day in which to hunt!

It has been my experience, living within a few feet of an elementary school myself, that middle schools and high schools are far more productive than elementary schools, both in terms of silver and older coins.

This is not to take away from your excellent finds at all. BTW, is the Wells Fargo badge actually a pin? Could it be gold?
