Default 1904 schoolhouse not dead...repeat performance

The schoolhouse well has not gone dry. That announcement was a bit premature....for the second time. I was between coats of finish on 8 banjo necks. They needed to dry for 2 hours before I could proceed.....so I hopped in the car and headed down the hill.

I was there 2 1/2 hours, and just before I left, I was detecting right next to the sidewalk about a half a block from the school....and found the walker at only 2 inches, and the quarter only a foot away from it at 4 inches.

The weird part (insert twilight zone theme here) is that the walker is a 1944....same as the last one. The quarter that accompanied it was a 52....the same date as the silver quarter I found the day I found the other walker. I have also found a pair of 1942 quarters there.

If good things come in 3's.....I might be done with the big silver finds at the old schoolhouse property. But that won't keep me from going back to the old school.

I don't blame anybody who would think I'm making this stuff up.....I would probably be skeptical too if I were reading this.....some really strange happenings. Fortunate coincidence though.

I found some other stuff that needs cleaned....will post later.

Hi John.......This old school has really been lots of fun.....and I'm not going to say it's over anymore......although every time I do.....the next time I'm there I score a walker.....another thing about the whole "two-sies" phenomena that's just too strange for fiction.

My buddy scored a slick 1901 barber dime there yeaterday...and a 41 merc.

Boobie....You should come and visit me here in Greene County. I think we might be a little less "picked over". I never had this kind of luck up there in the 80s when I was going to Brady's Run and Chippewa and out that way.

I have a big field we can detect this weekend....about 2 acres of lawn. It's in an old town....and the house on it was built ca 1900. I already have permission to hunt...but only on the weekends "when we're not here". It's a day care facility through the week. I guess they don't want weirdos like me around other peoples' kids

Think about it.....weather's gonna be perfect too.

I'd like to swing a coil at Midland Park sometime. I know where midland is...between the Beaver Valley Mall and Shippingport on Rt 18...right? I have never seen the park though.
