Tired after the hunt was over? You betcha'...……...at age 72 my stamina isn't what it once was but when you're digging something you always find another ounce of energy to keep you going.

Congrats! I had a school that had an abundance of nickels in the past. Probably the change from the lunch price back in the day.

Can I ask what year the school house was from? I have one on our property and I’ve only found toys, and a ring from a swingset. No coins, a lot of nails from the roof coming off? I just figured they they brought their lunches. Mine was in use fin the 20’s & 30’s

I'll bet the culprit was 20-cent milk. Kids paid with a quarter, and everyone was running around with nickles in their pocket.

Ah, the good old days.

The date the school was built was 1953. Back in the 20's and 30's it's most likely the kids didn't have any money to bring to school and brought their own lunches so no money was in their pockets to lose. OR it's possible that your school has been hunted to death before you started there.

I agree, some schools are high in quarters, some in dimes, and a few in nickels. depends on what coins they were getting in change.

Do you want to know when we break the $100 barrier at that particular school or when we break the $100 barrier for the year? We broke the $100 barrier for the year way back in the spring. and yes, those schools have a lot of other stuff too. If pencil eraser tips were coins I'd be rich.

Wow ! 20cents for milk I'd be giving away my age if I said that milk was 3 cents when I went to school.
