Town Park double Tot Lot finds...

This morning about 6:15AM I went out of the city to a small town west of me, there is a double playground both are pretty good in size. One is geared to smaller children and the other for older and that is the one I did better in. Got a 1947S nickel that I needed for my album, that was found in the area for older children. Todays finds were very good compared to other times and places, Found a Disney charm of Dumbo in the older lot and in the lot for younger children a really small piece of chain, when I got home I saw that there is a real small cross attached to it...

To start out it started to rain, I did go to the beach was there for a very short hunt (rain).

Was an okay morning, went to two playgrounds, the first one did okay come out with .66 cents. The other one is starting to get very little finds, found .06 cents gonna give that one a break for awhile. Than last I hit the front yard, that too I'm gonna give a breat til maybe next year I found .08 cents in the front. One of the neighbor boys come over to me and asked if that was a metal detector, told him yes. He asked what I was looking for, told him metal (LOL!!!), than he asked if he could try but had to turn him down didn't want him to ruin the machine, kids in our neighborhood are a bit hyper and rough.

Visit from the Penny Angel...

Yesterday, I come across this site http://www.pennyfinders.com/, has some interesting stories. I was thinking about this Penny Angel last night and some this morning. This afternoon we stopped at WalMart and after checking out I spotted two circles on the floor each was about 3 feet apart, when I got over to see I was surprised to see a dime and a penny. And walking out to the car I spotted a penny, my husband says I should walk the parking lot to find more (I know he was joking with me for he's not into this hobby). But when I find alot I say who's laughing now, hehehe...

Coin Shooting...Neighbors front yard.

This morning I decided to get up early and try coin shooting the front yard at the house next door. Only problem is it's very humid, the bugs are biting (it's 7:00AM) I also have bad knee pain making it very hard to get down and dig the plug. I am gonna try again tomorrow at some Tot Lots using the other knee to get down on and with the help of my cane to help me up, which is gonna take some getting used to. I just need to get out Metal Detecting, my outing for the week...
