Went to Two Elementary Schools

This morning, I decided to get out and do some coin shooting after a rainy and windy day yesterday, the next few days look like it's gonna rain some more but a lot milder. The first school was a spur of the moment, when I drove by made a quick turn into the parking area. Found some coins .47 cents not a whole lot. Probably would of found more but didn't search very far and hard. The second school (nicknamed goose poop school, this time not to messy) was a planned location and here I did better than I did the last time I was here, found $1.46 and some kind of (Ah, an earring) the picture is the earring the size is 2 5/8" dia. junk earring but still interesting it was onto of the grass-eyeball find.

I'm off to search some schools...

Went coin shooting at some elementary schools this morning, had planned on gooing to three of them. The first school did not do good, found .11 cents, I know if I went into other parts of the school I probably would of done good but just searched the TotLots and this place had two of them. The second school was worst, I never did good at this school in the past found .01 penny. The third school was the goose poop place, didn't stay because the grounds crew was working at the play area (adding new woodchips), so I went to a different school I had not planned on visiting today. Did okay here, found one earring under a picnic table and some clad coins, found .83 cents three of the pennies found were Canadian. Than I was off to the last school for the day, I found some clad coins here also .33 cents and a childs ring. Had fun finding the earring and ring even though they are not the real thing.

A morning at the Beach/Park...

I see that I need this date for my nickel coin album, has no mint mark on the reverse side.

The tokens where found near the Band Gazebo between 2 picnic tables. Found the three and also the 3 blank ones on top of the grass, some had been found without the detector...

The earring was found in the TotLot next to the play equipment. I see no metal mark so don't think it's a good one. I did find a lot of coins in the play area guess the break gave it a change to refill with coins. I was Lucky no one went there while I was away. Today, I did very good at this park. Searched for 2 1/2 hours and the temp. was beautiful. Tomorrow is first Saturday of the month and our Club meeting for GVTS, I always get in some coin shooting at a school before the meeting.
