Hello all,I got out last week and dug about $3 in clad,nothing special.Today was a different story.I decided to go to a nearby elementary school that I knew was old but didnt know how old.I could tell by the brick and the 2 other kinds of brick for the 2 additions.When. I thought I was going to dig the normal trash,clad, and maybe a piece of jewelry.When I got there I looked at the lay of the land and where there might be ground not filled or moved from the additions.After settling in on said spot and digging a couple pieces of trash,I got a penny signal.I dug it and there was two wheats layin on top of eachother.I smiled and thought thats cool and moved on.After getting tired of digging trash I hit the ball field and guess what?(pause) More trash and a little clad.Something called me back to where I started.I was only getting 1 way sigs where the wheats were.I dug around a littleand got clear 3 way sigs.Look in there and 3 more wheats,same hole mind you.Again some 1 way sigs, scratch around and 2 more wheats.Surely thats all.Another 1 way sig,scratch around ,look and theres a buffalo nickle! Wow!By now the dirt is stickin to my digger and boots like bubblegum.This was next to a small tree and the roots were gettin on my nerves.I went ahead and left only to return tommorrow with a better tool.Was still getting 1 way sigs.I think theres more.I come home and look it up and the school was built in 1934.It was a nice surprise.I will take pics tommorrow for yall.Total count was 4 dimes,a quarter,and a penny.The wheats were a 30,36,44x2,48x2,and 49,the buff was a 35-D.Take a look at how they made eachother green by layin on one another. Thanx for lookin,jimmy

Nice little cache! That's very cool. I never get tired of wheats. Where there are wheats, there can be silver. You did a great job of assessing the property for the best place to detect. That alone is a valuable skill.
 

thanx all, and you are right treasure tales I feel confident with more time at this area and observations.
 

Really cool!!! I did the same thing the other day at an old residence but the pennies were not all wheaties. I dug about 15 or 20 and at the very bottom got one wheatie.
 

Nice score there Jimmy! 8) Kinda reminds me of the old rule, always re-check your holes, before moving on... ;D I've done the same thing. ::) A few times... ;D

Keep sweepin' buddy!
