"Truth" and "Hope" plus $17.77 in clad

Hello to all!! It was 30 degrees this morning but not raining or snowing so out I went. I wanted to hit a large Lutheran school playground and soccer fields but the pastor was not in so I coundn't get permission to hunt there, so I didn't since these kinds of church schools are considered private property. My back up plan was to go to two public elementary schools near there, ones I had covered the woodchips in last summer.

I went over the woodchips again and surprsingly, there was a nice amount of targets. I also detected the grassy areas around the play areas, basketball courts, and soccer fields and did pretty good today.

I got a nice keeper ring in the grass near the swings. It says "Truth" on it, is hallmarked "Sterling" and $, and is very large size. It fits on my thumb. I also got another silver keeper, a small pendant the says "Hope" and is hallmarked 925. One piece of gold too, a broken piece of an earring marked 10K. I also found a little bracelet on top of the ground. It's homemade and might be sterling. Here's my keepers.

I found a cool dog tag out in the middle of an open field. It's a 1983 Rutherford County tag. I don't think there is a county named that in Michigan? I'll have to check. It's pretty cool.

Lot's of trinkets today, 4 rings, 6 pendants, 2 earrings, 2 pins, a necklace, and a bangle bracelet (not pictured). Here's the 4 rings, all are pretty nice.

Glad to be out there today and very happy with my finds. It was actually ok out there because the wind wasn't blowing. I think it was about 40 degrees by the time I quit at 1:30. I am hoping to get out a time or two more before the snow flies. I am close to 10,000 coins and might just make it. I got 204 coins today for a face value of $17.77, lots of silver clad including 42 quarters in the 6 hours hunt time today. Here's some phots of today's finds. Thanks for reading, HH to all!

Awesome selection of finds as usual !!! I wish I had a school area that produces that well.My local always turns out clad and a ton of canslaw.I swear the mower man must get a rush when he goes over a pop can.God Bless and hh..Panz

Hi Panzer!
I search with the ole trusty Garrett TR machine in all metal and dig it all, so I definitely have my share of junk and canslaw. Digging 100 pieces of tincan to find one nice keeper ring is worth it to me. I probably dig at least ten pounds of trash on a day like this one, shoop it all up and dispose of it of course (don't want to have to dig it again next time).
Best of luck to you out there, thanks a lot for the reply!

Good job doo... I tried calling you yesterday morning but I guess you were too busy swinging. I made it up to Port Huron and hit a few schools myself. I had a personal best of 213 coins for a grand total of $12.29!!! I could have gotten more but I stopped digging pennies and I stopped by the beach to see if I could snag me a ring or two. No gold or silver for me :-\

Congrats on another great day, BDoo. ::) You've got a good assortment of trinkets and rings, along with quite a bit of clad. Those schoolyards where you live never seem to run dry. Keep swinging while you can.

Sorry I missed you Greg. I must have been jammin the radio loud and didn't hear the phone on my way to my hunt site. Congrats on your 200 plus coin day. You are sure getting to know that detector!! Congrats to you and thanks for stopping in!
