School Hunt

[wolcottdigger]

I took a ride up to the school were I went to sixth grade.
I did a small grassy area and was surprised to find so many coins.
No silver or anything old, I started doing the playground but they put down this chopped up rubber stuff on the ground
and its full of little metal bits I think its old chopped up tires.

Why do those pennies get so chewed up?

Why do those pennies get so chewed up?

Starting in 1982 they were made of Copper plated Zinc. Once moisture breaks through the plating, it eats away at the Zinc in no time.

Looks like the dates stop @ 1960 something, how old is the school .WTG

The school is called Alcott school and was originally a six room school house built in 1945.
