Hunted a Georgia Elementary School TODAY - Found $1 COIN & a lot of Quarters & Dimes

I have hunted this Georgia school 7 other times before in the last 3 years and always find a lot of clad coins. It is rural & located 6 miles in the country from the nearest town or city and probably the reason it is not hunted by anyone else. I found a $1 Presidential coin, 39 quarters, 25 dimes, 5 nickels & 11 cents (one was a 1944-D wheat cent) for a total of 81 clad coins and a $total of $13.61 - It was a Sunny Day & 81 degrees for the high - with a nice breeze - a GREAT day. Good Luck & Happy Hunting Everyone.
