schoolyard silver

[villagenut]

Was hot this weekend and only did a little digging for relics in my trash pit site. I ended up checking out a spot at a old school. I am not really a coin hunter anymore, although at one time it was my thing. I therefore rarely post my coin finds. I had found an ariel view of the school that was taken in the 1950s and saw some signs of a ball diamond where there are none today, so I decided to try it out since it was an inconspicuous place, one that looks as if it may have been overlooked by others over the years. I found hardly no clad and some wheats but nothing special.But the silver was abundant. The bracelet is sterling, marked taxco. I still would rather be digging bottles, buttons and old marbles....but I will take these

That's Awesome VN! I have to dig for 3-4 years to find that many old silver coins, and NEVER anything bigger than a dime. A lot of competition here, but congrats on a sweet silver score. Sub

That hunt just shows you haven't lost your touch for the old coins!! Great finds.............

I am sure the school had been hunted hard over the decades. The last time I searched here I found a Barber dime, but that was closer to the school building itself. That was probably 15 years ago. I should go to school more often. There could be more there where these coins were found, I was working the shaded areas only.

Congrats on the silvers VN. I'm glad coin shooting is no longer your cup of tea. May you find all the marbles, buttons and bottles you care to dig.

I figure I will leave more for the rest of you'all.To me there is nothing better than digging up that personal artifact that I can research and feel the story it tells as my imagination takes over. I would probably like it better if I was digging Draped Busts and King Georges like all of the New Englanders who do a pretty good job of raking them in up there. I do still like digging Indians though when I am detecting, but not as often as I like.
