It finally cooled down some the last two days and I spent about 6 hours bush hogging yesterday and decided to get out to detect today for a break.
I went to a school close by that I tried when I first started detecting about 15 years ago.
I really was not expecting much here and although the school dates back to 1961, it has been added on to about 2-3 times over the years.
My plan was to try to find a few quarters and whatever other coins might be there, but was not expecting any silver.
Early into the hunt I found a silver dime which shocked me so I changed my plan some and started being a little more determined to find out if there was more there.
Not long after that, I found a silver quarter that apparently got hit by a mower blade, and then about an hour later I found the half dollar... my first silver Kennedy half!!
I did end up with quite a few quarters too and eyeballed the $10 bill laying next to a bench in front of the school where I had just found a clad quarter and a clad half dollar.
The odd thing about where I found the three silver coins is that this area was all woods when the school was first built and then made into a sports field many years later...
Another forum member, (Jim Conn.) stated that perhaps dirt was moved around to this area during construction of additions and the coins were deposited there.. could be!!
Thanks for looking!!
