Last week I got a new permission that should have had a 1800s school house on it. This school house is on several maps always in the same spot. There are many land marks so it was going to be easy to find. Or so I thought. I was looking for nails and couldn’t find any. I went back today to cover the parts of the field I didn’t get to last week. After hitting most of the far side of the field I decided to grid the field at a 90deg to what I had all ready had done. When I got over close to where I thought the nails should have been. I got a good signal, dug it and I got 1881 Indian head. Still no nails. After I dug the Indian I started circling the hole. About three feet away I dug a (watch winder or seizer piece?) went another ten feet and got a very strong signal and dug the hole. Out popped a coin. I could see the size was bigger than and Indian so I thought it was a large cent. I got my camera out to take a pic and than I saw the readied edge. My first seated quarter 1857. Still no nails. I found two small buttons and the final proof that I was in the right spot, a pencil eraser top. I’m at a lost for the lack of nails, but I’m sure I found the school house.
