I know this lesson all to well... but I rarely take advantage of it, thinking I have better sites to hunt... Our local high school was built in the 1920's and before then maybe some houses were there but it is out in the open and in the middle of town you'd think everyone that passes through would of stopped to hunt this area... as did I... but nothing is ever hunted out and in fact some places are not hit that hard, or at all... this is what I found over the last few days, 4 to 6 hours of total hunting... granted its not a lot but its what makes us keep going back for more...
Starting with clad... 4 quarters 11 dimes (3 were dropped the first day by the girls that were playing there watching me) 8 nickles 8 memorials and for the better stuff... 1940 & 1945 Wheat and a 1944 Mercury.
For the non-coin finds we have lighter (1950's-1960's?) a baseball medal, a military eagle button (WWII?)... a 1976 Montreal Archery Olympic medal, (a trinket?) and sterling silver ring that was almost smashed flat... had to unfold it to see if it was silver.
There is still several hours of hunting in that area to do...

You know theres got to be some good silver and a few class rings hiding around there somewhere.
