Default 2008 is lookin golden !

Hi all,Another nice warm day here in upstate NY ! I headed out early and whent to my buddys house to see if I could find the other half of the buckle I found yesterday.I hade no luck there so I whent to the old Gilbertsville School that has been detected to death by me and several others.I decided to dig some pulltabs in hopes of finding some gold.I found about 10 pounds of trash but I also found a gold wedding band,a gold horsehead pendant,one wheatback 1930 something,a goldplated cross,about 2-3 bucks in clad and a "1 penni" coin of unknown origin.

That's some nice booty, RIP. Do you search in a grid while you're there or are you doin' the drunken sailer? What would be more productive at a school?
