skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 07/17/2013 6:47 pm Around the corner and across the creek from my house is a middle school, where I see kids playing and people walking ALL THE TIME. I decided today to go check it out with my detector and see if they left any monetary trace of their existence behind. The rain moved in and I had to bail pretty fast early on, so I came home with my (at the time) meager finds, but the rains let up (though they are back now) and I went back out. The two pics are my totals from the last two hours. I also found a lock, key and a Chuck-E-Cheese token dated 1997. Found $2.00 on the money. Pun intended. Not bad for a couple hours I suppose. I tell you, when the time comes where the U.S. embraces the dollar coin, this will become much more profitable. Next planned hunt is at the lake!

skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 07/17/2013 10:27 pm Nope, one dime I thought may be silver but it wasn't. When I dug it up I could see 196X on it. When I got it rinsed off, it was a 1965. So close. Report this Post to the Staff
