Hi all,
Was able to get out for a couple hours to the local high school which dates back to the 50s. I have been working this area for some time and really haven't found squat-even clad is few and far between except for areas where it seems people tossed hands full of zincolns in the grass.
This morning started out much the same, just working a different area. Everything at 4 inches or less, almost all pennies. Later I decided to try by the sports field and track. This area started much the same-lots of pennies slong the sidewalk until I got a nice high tone i thought was another surface quarter. Of all things, turned out to be a sterling ring!
After more of the pennies I moved inside the fence and started hunting along the fence towards the bleachers. Surprisingly little top clad, but I did get a signal at 7 inches. Lucky day, first wheatie at this site! So concentrating at this depth I found several more coins including 1 more wheatie, but no silver. So close though-1967 quarter, 2 dimes at 1967 and 2 more 1965. Grrr...
Total of $3.12 in clad, 2 wheaties, 1 silver ring, and a couple junk hot wheels cars.
