Craig heard a tale of a small pocket park that once had a 1700's one room schoolhouse there, so we went looking for it this morning...it turns out that the original school was down the street and not located at the park, but a plaque on a post at the corner of the lot had a photo on it of a 4 room school with a attic, belltower and even outdoor privies:shock: that was there from 1894 until it was torn down in 1939...sweet! Getting my bearings from the picture I worked what was the front yard of the school, where I found vintage coins, some with nails in the hole...a few copper/brass scraps from the building, a out of place cable tv connector:lol:and $1.05 in clad dimes/state quarters before it began to rain and we left...I was running a Explorer II with the standard 10.5"
coil for this outing besides 5 pre WW II wheats I also dug a Canadian Large Cent... and a thin Barber Dime... silver #146... I'll get back to this little park sometime as there's definitely some potential here...there shouldn't be any silver Rosies in the way:laughing: Thanks for the looks and see you after the next outing...Happy Hunting!
 
Wow! You’re parks are amazing. Nice finds.

One of my first and favorite albums! I was just starting to play drums at that time and 37 years later,I still enjoy listening to it. One of the best rock albums ever made...and that's a FACT!
