Sunday's 11-12 Schoolyard finds

Hello all!

I managed to get out for 3 hours Sunday in between getting all my family businees done. It was cold but the sun was trying to shine and I was really just happy to be out in my solitude enjoying what I doo, finding!!

I hit a schoolyard in the area that I haven't been too. Some luck out there, a medium amount of digging to keep my interest and warmth going. I found $6.18 in clad, 83 coins. One more time out will get me over the 4000 coin total for the year. I'm at 3983 now. I found a 1977 1 shilling Austrian coin. It's pretty cool and pretty. Also my usual nice assorment of trinket/junk jewelry including a nice gold plated pin that's two feet together. It says "Copywrite V. Evers 1973" on the back. I also dug the coolest zipper pull. It must be off a junior flight jacket or something because it's a WW2 style fighter jet.

My best find was a sweet and wearable (gifted to my daughter already), silver bracelet. It's stretchy like a watch band and about 1/8" wide. Very feminine and pretty.

Here's a couple photos. Thanks for reading and happy hunting. Best of luck to you all!

Smiles!

Nice finds Booby. You certainly have had a nice yr. I bet your jewlery collection is over flowing. You probably got more invested in jewlery boxes than some do equiptment.

You have some nice weathly areas to go over. I could excel well in that type of hunting myself. I just stricktly look for old coins and relics now.

It is about the same as what you are hunting. It's just in a different form. Hope the weather holds up.

Thanks Jer

I enjoy all types of hunting, but doo like the opportunity to hit the jewelry jackpot and yes, I have had a superb year and a lot of luck. I have some good leads on good coinshooting spots lined up for next spring when the snow has the grasses down. We'll see :)
Awesome hunters like you are a real inspiration to the rest of us here. Thanks buddy!

Thanks for visiting Mighty Man!!
Yep, I'm one of those crazy engineers, love keeping track of the data and stats :)
I have kept a log from when I started in 1980 back when I was a nobody teenager.
The schoolyards have been really good to me this year and I have all you to thank,
getting inspiration and seeing what's possible on TNet led me to really concentrate on them,
and I discovered that I have a little niche going ;).

Cheers brother. Tell LizardQueen I said hello!

Smiles!

GAH 4000 coins. WOW. And more silver jewelry. That is really cool Bobby. Awesome job. If you ever get the chance and have not had to sell or give away some of your jewelry finds would love to see a pic of your collection. I have only been with us for 6 months now and I sure have seen a lot of great jewelry (plus tons of other finds as well) you have found. I would love to see that collection I bets its pretty awesome.

Good job as always,

lots of coins, but you think youll find over 2600 coins on your next trip?....good luck on that, lol
Thanks for stopping in allen and for pointing out my type-o ... 3983 not 1383
2600 is a stretch, most in one day is 270 :)

Re: Sunday's 11-12 Schoolyard finds

Great to meet you in person. It was interesting to hear that you have found seated, barbers, SLQs and such. Somehow I got the impression that you were just a jewelry/clad junkie. Not that there is anything wrong with that... ;)

SO... the finds. Good haul. My son and I used to write down our finds each time out. Then the finds would back up and it became to bothersome. We do have our posts for a record and will try to compile the stats at the end of the year. Last year Nate and I had about 4000 clad coins totalling around $330. This year we will have a lot more. Next year Nate and I will likely keep separate totals.
