Old silver and coins from the front of old hammered high school and 2 silv. yesterday

[history hunter]

Found a 925 ear ring and sterling ring yesterday in the wood chips. This morning found a mans ring that reads gold on MDer and is not magnetic. This ring has no markings and the center spins. I worked the front of the old high school (now a middle school) for about 4 1/2 hours also and found a 1917 merc at about 11" or 12", also three old deep wheats, 1911,1919 and 1937S.It turned out to be a fun day. Thanks for looking!!

Very good finds! That old Merc has seen a lot of use but it is still a silver dime!! The ring looks a bit off color for gold, maybe have it tested by a jeweler?. Cute looking ring and nice paperclip................63bkpkr

How do you dig a 12" hole in front of a school without some "official" complaining?

Great merc, even if it is worn, it's pretty cool

Wow, I don't think my BH will go 11 inches down. I found a 1964 dime in front of an old HS last weekend. I take care putting back the plugs I dig, so as not to piss anyone off. Nice job, I love hunting schools, those kids are loseing stuff all the time.

That's a good hunt there.

the school is not in use and might be sold in the future. it was 12" deep, not diameter. I always leave my holes so that I can hardly find them again. (usually). It is easier to hide holes in some areas of the country than others, for example: in Wisconsin I had an easier time hiding holes than in the more desert type climate I'm in for the time being. Thanks for looking.

I found this early 1900's city park in my town. It's in this declining neighborhood with the big victorian type homes. The current park is now just a large triangular stretch of mowed lawn with some playground equipment. I have metal detected near the tree line with no "historic" (just clad coins) finds, but I have been a little nervous to venture out into the open area. There are no full-time grounds keepers. So, if I had trouble it would probably be a cop passing by. Do you ever detect in highly visible public areas?

 

[history hunter]

Yes, the cops usually will not bother you if you cover up your holes. You should be ok, I've never really had any issues.

Thanks for the encouragement to risk a more public detect. Great finds!

 

[jewelerguy]
