Yesterday I went out scouting for spots and found about 6. Today I hit 3 of them. About 5 hours worth. One was a park and the other 2 schools.

The park was a softball park. Had 3 fields. Found just over 5.00 there. The first school got about 3.00. All the rest came from the 2nd school. All total I got just over 25.00 for the day.

Nice finds! Do you ever find silver-era coinage, or the clad pieces? There are a few hidden gold mining-era ghost towns around here that I could check out...

Hi Kurt

Silver turns up every now and then as does a fair amount of gold and silver jewelry .

Be careful of the ghost towns most are covered under the historic preservation laws !

Yes Metalman I believe the one school is an untapped resource. All that was found at that school was around the playground equipment. There were 3 of the areas all sand. So I just had my sand scoop with me. As I was going to each play area the detector was going nuts. Didn't feel like going back to the van for the digger. Much more to be had. That will be my next trip.

Kurt I have only found one silver dime amoung all the coins. Hard to come by.
