went to the real site of the old school today, the maps and atlases have it 1/2 mile further down the road
I know the owner of the site and found out he went to that school until the 6th grade, his mom was the teacher. when the school was torn down in 1943, his dad bought the land and farmed it, his son did the same and now it's rented out to another farmer.
so it's a virgin site, the owner told me nobody has ever searched it. he should know, he lives about 100ft
from where it was located.
here's what I found
the back of a pocket watch, it says warranted solid nickel #8818
a couple of wheaties, 1916, 1920
a charm from a necklace, that says " While I Am Away"
a thingamajig from Grand Rapids, Mich
what looks like part of a doorknob face plate
and finally a, I don't know

now I'm waiting for the farmer to dig it up and hopefully bring up some more stuff for me to find
 
oh yeah....as soon as he plows you best be running behind him because there are sure to be LOTS of cool things at a site like that! Looks like some cool stuff already!
 
I won't have to worry about other MDers that for sure
