Our Elementary Metal Detecting Club

Funded Feb 25, 2023

Thank you so much for your support on our project. We were able to purchase all of the materials necessary. Our team of 9 middle schoolers surveyed approximately one full acre of land outside of the school and in year two we hope to complete the mission.

The students learned the particulars of the metal detectors and pin-pointers in the first week and by week two were teaching the new students. We set up in teams of three, with each student given a responsiblity of detector, digger, and pin-pointer. We worked throughout the spring spending 3 hours a week on the project.

The highlights of the project came with each new discovery. Beyond the numerous cans we found coins from the 1940s, a wrist watch, a complete Ipod! Thank you for making such a generous donation and I hope to keep you all updated next spring.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Schloss
