One small spot of an old schoolyard produced a couple of IHPs, a V nickel, and a silver Rosie for me. I went back two or three times and dug nothing cool at all, figured it was hunted out. Last week I saw somebody reply on another thread to the effect that "no place is hunted out, hit it low and slow." I was nearby yesterday and decided to give it a few minutes, low and slow. Before long, I hit a 1951 D wheat. Within two feet of that, I popped an Indian out that I could actually read the reverse on right out of the dirt. Stayed there a while longer and found the neat 1950s Hartford Insurance Junior Fire Marshal ring - that red paint must be really durable. It has fire axe and helmet designs on the sides. The Fitz Overalls button I found a couple days earlier, was just popping clad out of a sand playground and it was in the dirt below the sand. Any idea on its age? The IHP didn't clean as well as the last two, soaking it a little longer.
