So I have continued focusing on this 100-year-old university that I have permission on. As with most places in the US, it has been hot, but I have been soldiering on. There are been fewer old coins than I would like: only five roughed-up wheats and two Mercury dimes. I think a lot of the old coins are buried beneath newer buildings and parking lots now.
I have dug about 750 coins total from the place (and 98 today), totaling about $55 so far (those numbers definitely tell you something about my old coin to clad ratio). I'm planning to roll up the clad I've found and buy an old US gold coin with it.
I have also found three silver rings, one of which I have already shown. The star of the show I found in the heat today: a beautiful 11.4 gram (.35 oz) honker. Weighs about as much as the other five silver rings I've dug so far this year put together.
More bulletins as events warrant!
