Thumbs down Worse day ever at the "quarterback" school

Decided to venture out to "quarterback school". In 8 previous trips I nabbed a respectable 114 quarters Woke up to a frost covering the ground so I didn't hit spots I hadn't covered before as I knew my hands would be a tad cold. Ventured out to where the sun was hitting the grass. I had already worked over the ground previously, but just with the Ace on dime/quarter discrim. My first four finds were one of each - cent, nickle, dime, quarter. I was going up in the world Ended up with my lowest quarter count out there - 5. 4 dimes, 3 nickels and 16 cents, including a two ZLincolns sandwich which had a wad of gum holding them together.

I did find some cheap-o bling-blings to make the hunt a tad more fun.

First school yard bullet, will check the caliber out later.


Pacific Trails zipper fob? Unless it is discontinued, I'll use it to seed a tot-lot so I check now and then and see if I have competition.


How 'bout sprinkle with silver and hold the love next time


Cheap-o kiddie ring (Avon). Gold plated, with some of the gold plating worn off.

Congrats on those finds! Even without it being silver the watering can is neat, and the Pacfic Trails fob is a nice item also, Beale.

Scratching my head on why that school yard has so many, more than all the other school yards combined! I'm trying to reach 150 which will be possible if ma nature cooperates for another month.

I was telling the wife about your school yard, we were wondering about what was available in the school cafeteria for machines .........

We talked about how our parents used to put 2 cents wrapped in the wax paper of our sandwiches for milk ............. LOL

3 cents would get you a carton of chocolate milk !!!
