old school gives up some goodies

[Goes4ever]

not sure why I have never hunted this school before, guess I forgot it was there, it is about 20 minutes from my house so not too bad. It is dated 1916 on the front and it is still in use. There is a open play area and a ball field, the ballfield is literally infested with pull tabs. At first I started on a gold quest and was digging the tabs, hoping for a ring. Then I wandered over to the open grassy play area, started getting clad here and there. Kept working farther and farther away from the school.

No old coins yet.............I was clear at the edge of the school yard when I got my first wheat, 1953, kept cruising along and I got a nice deep signal, down about 7-8" pops out an indian 1891, but it is corroded real bad. Oh well, still fun to find. Few more yards I get a deep quarter signal, I am saying under my breath, let it be silver, well it was a nice shape 1935 Washington. Then just a few more yards I got another real deep signal, dug down to about 8" and got a 1916 wheat.

I was out of time and had to leave, but plan on returning to this site in the future, I am sure there is more goodies here to be found.

That is a pretty good indication that there are probably more oldies there.
Congrats on the silver, wheat and Injun.Hope to see more pics of some future hunts.

Them are some nice coins you found their G4e

Old schools is one of my favorite places to hunt and the best place too start is way out back.

the 1935 quarter is still "sharp" on the edges like a brand new coin, I can bet money it was lost in 1935

Way to go, that X-70 will do a good job for you. I'd hit the side lines, bet there are more goodies hidden there.

Nice finds G-4.
Big silver is always nice

 

[Jazdo]

Quite possible a unhunted area of the field. A fringe area that sometimes is left for a
persistent detectorist as yourself.

Keep swinging there for sure.
