My first skunking using an F75................Unless you count pull tabs and foil

Found lots of that, but not one single coin..O That's Spelled ZERO..

I went to what looked like an old school......Only one grassy area on the whole site...Hunted for about an 1 1/2 hours and nothing.

Kept checking my machine..Yep it's working..still no coins..Not even a memorial... Gave up and started to the car, when I saw this what looked like a police officer approaching me....Wrong..School Security Officer ( I keep forgetting we need those guys now days) and he asked what I was doing....I thought "Oh Boy" here we go..... Wrong again..he was very nice.and very interested in what I was doing...He did say someone called from the surrounding homes...I talked a while and mentioned no finds except, on top foil, and a few pull tabs about an Inch in the ground...He asked what I normally found..I told him pennies, clad dimes, nickles, and some quarters at least......He then laughed and asked if I realized this was a brand new building...........Just finished in the last part of May..I was shocked..it looked like a fifties school..with nice grass.....Nope it was a neighborhood school,
that had been rebuilt from ground up.Just made to look old....No students till the fall..He further told me where I was detecting was the parking lot of the old school and the workers ate lunch there everyday they worked..Explained the pull tabs, and the foil....Seems the back side was the former playground area, and thats now the parking lot..Some days you just can't win..LOL
 
Thats almost funny. That would suck to hunt somewhere and not get anything. That almost happen to me the first time out with the 75. Fortunately I found a penny so I was still on a roll. LOL. TMAN...

I have hunted to only go home with very few coins or relics. I have hunted schools where I find every little and I go through a few weeks of bad luck and then bang I find a school that has never been hunted and walk out with a few rings and about fifteen dollars in clad. It must be the off times that make up for the good times. Good story
