2 hours in heat at school again today. $3.30 (6 quarters, 13 dimes, 7 nickels, and 15 pennies). All clad but did manage 1 wheatie(1944-D), One hole had 3 quarters as I was leaving which made my day!HH~Andy~

More found money to add to economy!

Went to a friends house yesterday which didn't take but an hour, and for a 50's house I was kinda disappointed. 19 cents total and a lot of junk. I did find 1 1956-d dime and 2 wheatbacks from the 40's. Went back to my 50's school and hoped to find more rings but alas, no such luck! Did manage to scrounge up $3.71 with one 1929 wheatie. For a couple hours I guess I can't complain(8 quarters, 14 dimes, 3 nickels and 16 pennies). I guess after finding 2 rings on monday my hopes were set higher!HH~Andy~

Silver and Gold!!!!!

Best day this year as it started with dig I started before rain yesterday. I dug the plug out and found a .925 solid silver ring, mini happy dance and moved on. Working around the playground produced $1.79 in clad(4 quarters,6 dimes, 1 nickel, and 14 pennies). I was at it about 2 hours and started to work my way back to car digging 5 straight pull tabs and 1 more beep giving me a VDI of 14 and I said what the heck, 1 more dig and I bent down on my sore knee and dug 3" and to my surprise, out pops a gold ring. 14K with 3 small diamonds, Now comes the major happy dance! Year to date totals are $55.01 in coins(28 wheat backs, 1 buffalo nickel, 1 V-nickel, 3 war- nickels, 2 mercury dimes, 5 rosies, 5 washington silvers, 1 silver kennedy half, and 1 Liberty half). Other notables are 8 rings(2 gold with diamonds and 2 silver), 7 tokens, 1918 Canadian penny, 200 lire, 2 Groschen, 15 hotwheels, 1 brooch(silver), 1 earring(silver), 1 dollar coin, 1 money clip, 5 dollar bill, 2 dog tags, and a partridge which I still believe fell out of a pear tree!

lotta rain

Rained hard last night and this morning and when sun broke thru I saw a 1 hour window to go back to school. .53 cents was all I could muster(1 quarter,2 dimes,8 pennies). A couple interesting finds included a 1925 Groschen 2 which I believe is German for 2 cents that was only 1" down, guessing someone lost their show and tell item. Also found what appeared to be a tiny phonograph player made of metal, after taking it home I discovered it was a pencil sharpener! Unique if nothing else! I also found a spot that showed dime at 6 " and as I started to dig the sky opened up and I raced to my SUV. I'll dig that one first thing tomorrow! Came home and watched 2-3 more inches of rain fall, guess the drought is over...YAY!HH~Andy~

First real rain in 6 weeks

After 2" of rain last night and this morning I thought I'd have a go at another school built in 50's and for 2 hours in ungodly heat and humidity I did all right. Found $2.74 including 7 quarters, 7 dimes, 3 nickels, and 14 pennies. One silver quarter (1964-D) which was my second one with this date. The other $2.49 was clad, but I'll go back again. Seems like it hasn't been hit in awhile as anytime I can find a couple bucks in 2 hours I feel blessed.HH~Andy~
