1890 School Site pays off again with Indian Heads and Silver

[Tony Two-Cent]

I asked my wife what she wanted to do today and she replied, I'm not getting off this couch. lol

So I quickly decided to head out for some metal detecting. What better way to celebrate our nation's independence? thumbsup01

I went back to the old school grounds that I hunted back on June 1. Such a beautiful day today! Sunny with a high of 80 degrees and not too humid. This old school site is a wonderful place to detect because there is not a lot of junk. The cornerstone from the old school is now in the base of the pole.


Here are my total finds for the day:


The more interesting relics and junk items:



My first good find of the day was this 1948 Quarter that is holed and still has the chain attached. I think other detectorists may have missed it because the chain messed up the signal, however the E-Trac gave me enough of a hint of silver that I had to dig.



Today's keepers:


One of the Indian Heads was really worn so I was hoping that it was an older one. However, as best I can tell it is an 1885. What do you think?


This store token was pitted but I cleaned it up as best as I could:



At first I thought this was a foreign coin but it is a play coin. It is tiny, about the size of a trime:



Thanks for looking and Happy 4th of July, everyone!

wow thats a great hunt Tony! such a variety of finds, old silvers, injuns, mercs and even a V nickel thrown in . astounding! if i had a hunt like that down here i would have to hang up my detector, because i would never ever match it lol

congrats on the goodies, and i am betting you'll hit that old school site again. i know i would! lol

your hunt is a in my book!

[Epi-hunter]

Wow Tony! I love your posts. It seems that no matter where you go you pull a huge variety of coins, and all those IHs

Congrats on a great hunt as usual!

Nice hunting Tony. I have to agree, it's an 1885. Great variety of coins and quite an impressive amount of IH's.
on the silvers and all those other keepers.

[Lodge Scent]

Man, you really cleaned up Tony You have a pile o' nice finds there.

[coinnut]

Nice mix of old coins Can't complain about that hunt lol

Nice digging Tony. Good work on that quarter for sure. Most of the silver Washingtons I've gotten this year have had their signals altered by other targets & junk. Like yours, it likely explains why they were still there to be found. Congrats!

Another vote for 1885. thumbsup01
And I gotta say..... I think that's the first Washington quarter I've ever seen holed. lol
I bet your right too on the chain being the reason for it being missed or overlooked by other hunters.
Nice huntin' man! |
Congrats!

congrats on all of your finds the silver is a nice thing to find but the token is also something that i like to find almost as much again congrats on a great hunt dennis

I vote 1877 lol ...well one day. You ever find one? Good looking hunt Tony thumbsup01 Thanks for the post.

[swamp yankee]

Hi Tony, I vote for 1885 on your IH,congrats! Great hunt on the fourth HH...

[Tony Two-Cent]

I vote 1877 lol ...well one day. You ever find one?

No, I'm afraid I'm still looking for an 1877. Hopefully someday!

[Full Metal Digger]

Nice finds Tony. First holed Washington quarter I have ever seen. That school yard looks awesome. I think you have better luck than me finding these honey holes that have never been (or poorly) detected! Happy hunting, Dave.

[giant056]

Fantastic bunch of finds you got there in that schoolyard Tony thumbsup01 I would say that the Indian is most definitely an 1885

Sweet day detecting Tony | Love that store token thumbsup01
