Hello Everyone,

After a morning of preparing for my college classes then completing yard work in 70 degree weather, my daughter and I decided to hit a local school. We both were using our Minelab X-Terra’s, mine the gold and hers with the standard coil. As you can see we dug a “ton” of trash looking for gold (digging mid-tones) with most being pull tabs, pencil eraser tops and foil; many nickels were found, but unfortunately no gold. My daughter found the only jewelry, a small charm. The Canadian dime gave a screaming signal, but being 1987 it was not silver. Some other finds were a coat button, hair piece, two zippers (always find them at schools) and $ 1.05 in clad.

We hope to get out tomorrow and make it nine days in a row!

Thank you for looking.

GL & HH

Doc

Real nice finds there Doc. It's always nice enjoying the hobby with family. When your pushing 100 years old you can swing the coil and let the grandkids dig the holes. Good luck on digging that gold.

Revenge of the School Yard maybe, but you still 'cheated' a few finds out of the soil there. :thumbsup:
