I finally decided to try my metal detector out at the local school in the city where I work. I only checked the front side of the school though since I had too much to do before it got too late today, but here's what I found of interest: $2.09 in change, a key, a small lock, and two rings. I felt like being nice so I didn't photograph the heap of junk pulltabs and paperclips I found. Not bad for just 1/4 of the schoolgrounds.

I have all kinds of stuff to get done tonight but I hope to get to it and check it. First impression is that it is sterling.

One of the quarters was torn into like it was hit by a lawn mower blade. I had to flatten it back down to put it in my coin roll tube. Who knows how many times it got a haircut before I found it.
