Old abandoned school. Everything was deep and the ground was all clay with the consistency of peanut butter and the smell of....well I'd rather not say. The pic is my three half dollar signals. First was the aluminum Olympic medal. I first spotted the all silver reeded edge and got pretty excited. Second a cool Boyscout medal. How great would America be if we could convince half the population to practice half of the Boyscout motto? Third was a stack of quarters sitting on top of the ground. I got a mess of clad there too. I also found a German 1 Mark coin which I lost and I'm pretty ticked at myself. I needed a German coin for my book too. I probably missed my pocket. I searched through my clad and truck pretty thoroughly. I lost a junk charm last week too. That one made it into my house and I probably tossed it in the trash with a handful of pop tops. Am I getting senile?

Early this morning back to my Barber Quarter site for 45 minutes. The cuff link was deep and had me excited until I got it home. It's marked "Krementz Plated." It is old though. My research says turn of the century. Another cool find was a printers letter type. It is the letter capital W which is what my last name starts with. Nothing else all that great.

After lunch, a ball field where I find a lot of wheats and silver dimes. Today I got two wheats the oldest was 1923 which I need for my book. Also that old ring. It's aluminum and was covered in thick paint. It was pretty deep. I used up the batteries in my dremmell tool getting it to that point. When they're charged I'll finish cleaning it up in a few minutes.

I kept the junk as a tribute to my pal Kenny. Nothing like his collection and I'm gonna toss mine, hopefully without any keepers.

Man, am I pissed about losing that German coin.
