Got out to a old long gone country school house today. It has been detected several times back in the 1980's with a old goldmaster but I had to give it a try with my MXT. Managed to find:
1894 IH 1897 IH 1911 wheat 1917-s wheat 1918 wheat x2 1919-d wheat 1920 wheat 1929 wheat 1941-s wheat 1945-s war nickle 1962-d nickle 1 military button 1 token Not a bad day..looking forward to hitting it again. On a side note those IH's did ID as zinc pennies/screwcap on my MXT. I know I skipped some of them early on in the hunt. Pics to follow after some olive oil soaking. HH __________________ |

That's a great purse there. Awesome job. That's the second time I have heard about olive oil soaking. What does this do and is it safe to do on coins and buttons and other artifacts without damaging their value?

These schools are/ or where every 5 miles or so around here and I have found them to produce pretty well. I have several others lined up to hit when weather permits. I dont find any extremely old coins at the schools or anywhere else around here but I just love finding IH's. HH __________________ |

Very impressive DB. Boy, sure wish I knew where the old one room schoolhouse is that I went to when I was just a wee lad.
Being as it is downstate from me, its probably a condo by now.

I hit one last year that gave me a 1917 WLH. I was pretty happy.
