Thanks mattockman. I keep everything I find in file containers with dates and location.I'm having such a great year so far that I think I'm going to have to hire a secretary.LOL.
I cut my teeth on the EXPII and when I got the SE and started hunting in AM/Ferrous (thanks to NH BOB) I started hearing things in a more rounded way. I think it's a ZEN kind of thing.GR
 
To add to this post. The school was built in 1925 on a very old field. It is very near an area in Tariffville CT.where the Tariffville train wreck happened in JAN. 1878 13 people were killed and many injured. I've found many buttons from this time period in a 10 square foot area.One of the buttons I was holding in may hand when it fell on the floor of my shop.It hit the floor with a clink and I never found it. I was in an open area and poof gone. Then I was looking at another and It also fell out of my hand and when it hit the floor the shank broke off. The building next to were I'm searching is now a tavern where many of the injured were brought in from the cold. There are apartments on the second floor and many tenants have had things in there apartments moved around when they aren't there and people have seen a man walking into the bathroom. It is called the Cracker Barrel Pub. You can look it up on the Tariffville CT. web site.Just a bit of local history. I've just started searching the playground and that is were these new finds came from. Thanks for looking and lets have some of your local history. GR
 
Funny coincidence, I got a 1798 draped bust large cent in a schoolyard in '06. (or at least the building used to be a school, it's a grange hall now) They were rehabbing the place and doing construction, and scraped the topsoil in the process.

Better take a good look at that thing to make sure it's not a 1799. Those are a key date, worth hundreds of $$$.
