All Treasure Hunting
Went back to my old neighborhood school again this afternoon. I have hunted it hundreds of times and so have many others. Before going, I ran through my mind where my best chances of finding something were. I thought about the fact that most of my hunts concentrated on the athletic field area, so I decided to hit the area around the outer curb surrounding the fields. I knew the hunting would be difficult because there is a lot of trash in that area. First surprise was the padlock and finding the other piece about 6" away. Was totally blown away when the Silver Quarter showed up. Was certainly worth changing up my hunting habits to find more silver.

Till next time. Happy Hunting.

That's so cool. I always wanted to go bask to hillcrest elementary. over 50 years ago. we always threw money off the playground. In the creeks too, like skippin' rocks, but with quarters. I even remember chucking some buffalos. One day...
 

Sweet silver find, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

Thanks !! I haven't given up on the Silver Dollar Lot yet, but it is good to know I can still find silver somewhere else.:icon_thumright:
 

Silver! Great find[emoji123][emoji123]

That's what it's all about.
Nice hunt
 

Congrats, nice finds.
Good story and I like the idea of thinking about your search before going out. Find the odd spots nobody else has hunted before and it payed off for you!
 

Great story. I love going back to an old spot and squeak out a few more!!! :laughing7:
 

I found a 14k ring in a spot I've been over countless times last week. Always something more to give.20170316_185125.jpg
 

Congrats. Agreed about not giving up on a site. Sometimes it seems a spot gives up better treaures the more you remove to unmask other, older things.
 

Nice work, congrats on the shiney one.
