Old high school hunt

Dan(NM)

Well-known member
I was finally able to get out for a couple of hours today. I went to an old abandoned high school that's been very stingy with goodies the last few hunts. I decided to put SEF 8x6 on the Etrac abd crank the sens up a bit to see of I could snipe anything from amongst the trash. First signal was the 43 nickle, about 30 minutes the later I get a jumpy vdi, but repeatable tone, 7" down and tilted on edge, out pops the 1876 Injun. 18" to the left I get another jumpy vdi, but a nice tone, I get a 1941 sixpence, the last thing I expected It's concave and has 2 holes directly across from each other I decided to rescan the spot from a different angle and I get a hit right next to the plug that the Indian came from. About 5 inches down I get the rosy. After that I had to hit the trail. Turned out to be a nice little variety of keepers in a short hunt
 
Nice hunt! Good job on "ferreting" those out! I've seen French & English & Netherlands coins made into bracelets that were sent back to sweethearts during WW II.

The six pence in from a bracelet/ I know this because I have found the same two hole, concave six pence types coins in some old jewelry from my Grandmother. Just letting you know.
