Wife had to work today so I took the kids to the local elementary, trying to make $200 clad for the year :lol:

My regular Compadre, propointer and lesche, was in the car my wife took to work, so I took my waterproofed, recently straight-shafted compadre “Gold Siren” and my old Fiskers digger. Like the straight shaft mod, used 3/4 copper pipe :cool: but missed my lesche! Did fine without the pinpointer.

The tot-lots were pretty bleak, hard to eek anything out of them, but hit a grassy spot near the gymnasium, and found the sterling horse with hosreshoe charm. Thought it was a St. Christopher’s medal at first (it was covered in dirt pretty well :lol:) but pretty cool, my favorite sterling find of the year.

Next target, kid not, was the 1948-S wheat cent! Pretty cool. Need 73¢ more to hit the $200 mark for the year, maybe Tuesday!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Very cool charm GS! Good luck on the "breaking $200 for the year". I think you'll do it.
 
Great job! I always chuckle at the weird/surprising stuff I find at elementary schools. Kids must just drag all sorts of stuff to school and lose it. :cool:
