I was at our school today, searching around the entrances, since I started December 28th, I've found about $12.00
in pennies, and clad silver, I found a 1965 quarter, but that was as close as I had come to a REAL silver coin.
Anyway, back to the story, a big red pickup goes by me in the parking lot, makes a u-turn, and the man in the truck asks if I've found anything good, I told him about a dollars worth of change was all, he asked to see it, I showed it to him, mud, dirt and all. Then he asks if I have permission to hunt the school property. I told him I had spoke with the school board president and he said it was o.k., he asked thhe presidents name and I told him..... Then he points off to the end of the parking lot and tells me "There used to be a store over there, and a train depot that was torn down about 80 years ago, you may want to try over there, I told him thanks, and also told him that I had seen the posted, no trespassing signs, so I hadn't gone over there he told me "That property belongs to the school, and if anybody asks, you tell them the Judge said you could metal detect there, then he gave me his card, he IS THE JUDGE!!!!",
I know, I know I'm long winded, anyway, I haul butt over there, its almost dark, get a few pieces of lead, an old copper flashlight switch and a bunch of beer cans, on the way out, I start scanning the ditches and found a 1906 dime about 4 inches from the edge of this deep 3 foot ditch, I almost peed on myself, I put it in my wallet (more advice ffrom somebody on TN) and headed straight home to post it, I still don't have a good camera, but my son showed me how to use my web cam to get a clear shot.
