Went back to the 1800s school this morning before it started raining . Found my first ever Half cent a 1804 . My first ever old Canadian coin, a 1870 five cent piece . And a 1934 Merc . I still have 25% of the ball field to detect so who knows what treasures are hiding there for me .:laughing7::laughing7: 100_0403.webp101_0212.webp101_0214.webp101_0222.webp101_0280.webp101_0281.webp

Sweet diggin nice spot ya got there
 

Very nice hunt ! I'd be really happy with those finds !
 

Nice !

Then you must re-detect once you complete the field!!! Lol

-Lady Liberty is hot stuff...especially on a coin
 

that's nice diggings right there !!! Did you find this place through research or is it just an older site in your town?

I found the foundation of an old school from the early 1800's, in the woods this past spring. I was looking for old places in my area and found it on an old map online and went looking for it. I haven't detected it yet, have to wait until the vegetation dies out a little bit. I was pretty pumped up just finding the foundation after seeing it on an old map.
 

Why can't I find stuff like that...:< Congrats! LOL!
 

Congrats on those old coins. That 1870 fishscale was the first year that was minted in that style I believe also it was minted in England rather than Canada believe it or not so it's been on quite a little journey. The half cent is something that has evaded me in all my years of detecting. That's a great spot that you are on to.
 

I have known of this place for a few years , but it took a chance meeting to obtain permission to hunt it.
 

Great finds 46Wheat. Those half cents don't show up every day. Always a great hunt when a half cent surfaces. :occasion14:
 

Nice finds, congratulations
