Some School House Finds

PA_Coin_Collector · Jun 26, 2019

Today while metal detecting the one room schoolhouse next door that was open until roughly the 50s I came across a 1951 Canadian cent and a 1939 wheat cent mixed in with some iron signals.

Just goes to show that here in Pennsylvania,you can't leave any mixed signal that has a hint of good undug!

that is wonderful. I was planting some plants for a guy who just happened to extend me permission to hunt a two room schoolhouse on his property from 1880-1960. We had been talking about old home sites and he mentioned his mother had gone to this school and so he bought it when it came up for sale. To his knowledge no one has ever hunted it. Waiting for winter to get the snakes out but it sounds exciting. Post some pics of your coins

Seeing how you seem interested as well,i'l let you in on some info about the school and some pictures of said coins. From this location I have found 3 silvers (2 dimes and a quarter) and then some wheats and that canadian. Lots of junk as well though.

The school house went up for sheriff sale a few weeks ago and we picked it up for a surprising $2500 as it came with the house and 2.2 acres. Extra cool as it is where my grandpa went to school.

Found another coin here today. I have hit it pretty hard lately trying to get more out and it's still showing. About 9 PM getting dark and I decide to head out while the ground is a bit wet. I dug up an 83 signal and it turned out to be a 1920-D mercury dime.
