Default Found my first silver

Went out hunting in Paris.... Kentucky that is and I was really just going to look around and I saw this old school with a playground right in front. I figured I'd hunt it I started on the playgound around the equipment and I found the following Clad 12 quarters, 17 dimes, 5 nickles. and 12 pennies and one silver bracelet with Topaz it says on the back MEXICO 92.5 now this playgound is right in front of the school right by a very busy road and everyone uses it. Met a guy with Kids and he told me where an old stagecoach stop is another old park and where an old mill and old factory that made brass casing for bullets way back in the day. He also said the school is about 80-90 years old so I am going to have to hunt the lawns. I didn't get to hunt the lawns today due to a gas truck that let off a boom like a cannon and then caught on fire right across the street. I figured it was best to leave. Attached are Pictures of my day. ICE

Silver with Turquoise, Very Nice! Leaving before the rest of the truck went BOOM! was a smart idea.
Gotta be lots of good stuff in an old school yard like that.

Cheers,
