Once again I had very little time after work and I happened to pass a school where I once found an 1881 Indian Head cent.
So, I figured what the heck and decided to hunt until dark, which wasn't very long; maybe an hour.
I picked a spot under a tree and immediately got a hit. I dug up ring # 12 but unfortunately, it's junk. I knew it wasn't silver before I dug it based on the tone so I wasn't surprised. No heart stopping disappointments today. A ring is still a ring in my book though.
Besides that I dug up 6 copper pennies, the oldest being a 1963, as well as a nickel and a few dimes and quarters. There were about 8 or 9 Zincolns as well but I already trashed those, not to mention the pull tabs and foil. There's never any shortage of that anywhere. I don't even count the Zincolns anymore nor do I waste any digital image space on 'em.
That's about it.
I've been staying away from the schools and parks lately but I do want to hit this place some more. I just have a feeling about it based on the IH and the 60's era coins. There may still be something to be had.
Thanks for looking and HH.
