I went back to an old high school that has been good to me this year.
Things are slowing down there now, but this site is still giving up some nice finds.
I got a wheat penny pretty soon after starting which was a good sign, and about an hour or so later, I got a nice signal that sounded like what I was looking for.
I dug down and hit some roots and had to probe around until I got a signal with my pinponter and finally freed up a nice 1940 mercury dime.
Glad I didn't gouge it while probing the hole.
About an hour after that I got a signal that sounded like a quarter.. I dug and removed the plug and went over it and the coin was now in the plug and reading like a clad dime.. I was surprised when I broke
the coin loose from the plug to discover it was another mercury dime.. 1942.
I got two more wheat pennies later on and the oldest that I can read is 1925.
Also got a few other modern coins and eyeballed this little tree ornament.. treasure it where you find it!!
Thank for looking!!
