Mornings hunt, Found a coin purse

[samuel_schumaker]

Went back to the old one room school house site where i have been finding IH and wheaties at. The one with the electric fence, lol. Anyways, started out the day with a 1892 IH bout a half hour later i found the tax token. It says Kansas sales tax token, has a hole in the middle with ones on both sides.Does this mean its a 1911 or is it mean its good for 1 cent or what, i dont know anything about tokens. Worked my way around where i was told the boys outhouse area was and found this coin purse type item. I dont know if its actually made to be a coin purse or what. It kind of looks like an old lighter that someone may have taken the guts out of but i dont know. It has an emblem on the front. Anyways, i could tell there was atleast one coin in it but i wanted to wait til i got home to take them out so i could take pics of it. Ended up being 7 pennies and 4 .22 short unshot cartridges in it. 6 Were wheaties with dates of1928, 1917,1919,1918,1923, one unreadable and one 1907 IH. I thought it was pretty cool even tho there wasnt any silver in it. Did a little more hunting on the way back towards the truck and managed a 1903 IH and another 1919 wheatie. I think i am gonna name this the penny school. Lol. With the coin purse find that puts me at 6 Indian heads and 12 wheat cents and not a single silver coin or nickel from this old school site. Starting to think someone cherry picked it years ago. The guy i know locally who hunts said he never found a single coin here? Maybe the kids just didnt have any silver coins to loose. Im gonna keep on trying and start working my way further out around the school yard. Thinking about doing some digging sometime in the two old outhouse holes but idk. I have never done that before. Thanks for looking and HH. Sam

Thanks guys, im liking the explorer. Hoping that someday they will have the cattle out of this area and shut the fencer off so i can turn my sensitivity back up without it going bazurk. Some of the pennies have been around the 6 inch mark but nothing really deeper then that

Very cool find, congrats! I would consider digging out the outhouses and sifting the dirt and by now, it is just dirt. Did you detect that area between the outhouse and school house, dig all iffy signals. I got close to an electric fence with my Minelab XT70, was not fun and I had to get far away from it. Let us know if you dig that outhouse. HH, Mike

Very cool find, especially since it was filled with coins.

Well i ended my silver slump today, found a 53 washington in my front yard where i have hunted several times. lol. Only silver coin i have found in my yard, only found wheaties before. So i am happy, went a few more feet and found a 53 wheatie. Whats the odds. Hoping to get quite a bit of hunting done this week with the longer daylight hours and nice weather. HH
