    3 Abe's and a couple of ladies

    Finally got out this morning to do some detecting.Two hours at a still in use local schoolyard, built in the mid 1920's and had to go slow with the sensitivity up on my Fisher F5. A few other local guys hit this school quite often, so gridding small areas, helps get the deep items they missed.
    The keepers for my time there.

    Great job nabbing the SLQ. Agree on the hunted sites, so slow and grid.
