Hunted at an old high school building on both Saturday and Sunday with Daddy Digger. Ill Digger joined us on Sunday and we all got some silver. The current school building was constructed in 1919 but a local historian told us there was an older school that burned down on the site before that.
Right off the bat on Saturday morning I found a 1918-S Walking Liberty Half, so that was a good sign! By the end of the day on Saturday I had four silver coins: the Walker, 2 Mercs and a Rosie. This school is loaded with wheat cents too.
On Sunday I got 6 silver coins at the school: 1 Barber Dime, 4 Mercs and a Rosie. I ended up with 39 wheat cents for the weekend.

The 1918-S is now my oldest Walker:
The 1914 Barber Dime was in decent shape:
At first I thought I had gone another weekend without finding an Indian Head Cent, but when I got home and examined this coin that has been ran over by a train I discovered that not only is it an Indian, but the date is clearly visible. I'm counting it!
Some of the non-coin items I found:
I have no idea how old these buckles are:
