Took my son out to his school for some detecting in the playground. I know that a friend of mine lost his school ring there in 85 or so as well. He knows the general area but there is a small concrete basketball court the area but still a lot of open area where he told me. I'm just not sure how much land disturbance may have occurred since then.
Anything in the 40s and 50s was slaw. The higher numbers were coins. All fairly modern (oldest was a 75 penny). Nonetheless, it was exciting to get coins. My 11yo son, especially like it. I don't have his eyesight and he picked the coin out every time.
The coins were all dug aroun 2" deep, except for the 1975.
Each coin looked intriguing bc of it's almost black color. When scraped away and eventually washed at home, each coin looked copper-colored. Why? The soil here is black. Acidic (pH below 4.5 probably). Wet often.

My son needed the Michigan State quarter for his almost-complete collection. Lol.
