I then went to the second park, also searched for an hour. Did pretty good here, found $1.42 and a couple of buttons. Found this $1.00 coin which registered a strong quarter on my ACE 250, when I dug it was about 2 inches down next to the parking lot at first I thought it was a quarter but than saw that it was a little larger thats when I saw that it was a $1.00 coin. Than I got 2 quarters, 1 dime, 3 nickels and 7 pennies from this park.
Went Coin Shooting to 2 locations, first was the park at the beach. I was gonna search the Tot Lot thats where I saw alot of kids playing there yesterday. When I got to the park I saw another person there with a detector and saw evidence that the play area was searched. So I went to a different area next to a resturant, I have been eyeing that area sent the fall. I did pretty good found $2.03 in a small area (I will search that area again). Also, found the thingy with the #2 must of been something in the center for I can see that there is a small hole on each side. The two items in the center I found a the Elementary school I went to after searching the park. When I got to the school as I was getting out of the car I saw a shiney penny on the pavement. At the school I did find some more coins, I have done pretty good here last season (found .73 cents).
Today is Columbus Day and weather pretty good other than chilly. I went to the park at the beach to search some, the finds are starting to get thin not many people coming down to the lake now. Found some clad, nothing in the TotLot except for one button on the backside it says "Waterbury Co's Inc. Conn." On the way back to my car I found this ring in very good condition the middle stone is pink and the side ones are clear has no mark. I believe it's not real but makes a good addition to my collection of rings. Also found a 1958 nickel that I need for my album. Tomorrow I plan on going to the park I searched the other day, has basketball courts, tennis courts and the bleachers by a couple of ball fields.
This penny I found last year in one of the play grounds I search at. I first thought it was play money but it's not plastic. It is the same size as the penny but minus the rim, it weighs 1.6grams. I looked last night on-line and found a few of them, this one does not look like it was in acid it actually has the same texture as a regular penny and it's not the size of a dime. I wonder if it's an error? I also thought that some one was doing a copper rubbing, it has the image of the memorial on the reverse side.
Went coin shooting at some elementary schools this morning, had planned on gooing to three of them. The first school did not do good, found .11 cents, I know if I went into other parts of the school I probably would of done good but just searched the TotLots and this place had two of them. The second school was worst, I never did good at this school in the past found .01 penny. The third school was the goose poop place, didn't stay because the grounds crew was working at the play area (adding new woodchips), so I went to a different school I had not planned on visiting today. Did okay here, found one earring under a picnic table and some clad coins, found .83 cents three of the pennies found were Canadian. Than I was off to the last school for the day, I found some clad coins here also .33 cents and a childs ring. Had fun finding the earring and ring even though they are not the real thing.
This morning, I went to two parks each one I searched the TotLots the first location not much after digging in the woodchips. I went into the skate park that is where the skate boarders and roller bladers play. I searched for coins (eye-balling) found a little over .10 cents, a nickel and pennies. I than turned on my machine and searched some of the grass along the tall fence, that is when I found this ring (I see no mark on the inside) and the Buzz Light Year also along the fence, on the back of Buzz it says "offical Pin Tra (can't make out the rest of the word)-2002-Disney Pixar-Made in China" and 1 Canadian penny. Clad found at this park was .62 cents. I than went to the next place haven't been to this park since last year, found a lot of clad coins $1.60.
Went to search at two parks this morning, first one is near my sister's house. I found a bunch of clad and this bullet, looks like it could come from the same kind of bullet case I found yesterday. At this park I found $2.60, one of the quarters I dug up here I missed it by being silver by 1 year, it was a 1965. Last year, I did find a 1964 quarter by the tennis courts in this park.
Went Coin shooting at the beach/park this morning as I was getting my things out of the car I spotted a penny on the ground next to the car. Than I searched the TotLot first found some clad coins and this token next to a swing, at first I thought I had another dollar coin but no. After the play area I started searching the grassy area, it was very humid had a very hard time seeing glasses kept fogging up, went to the end near the water was a bit cooler and was able to see. Did check a little in the sand found a quarter (didn't stay long on the sand as mentioned earlier for me it's hard to walk on). 
I went to the beach today for a 2 hour search, didn't find a whole lot but did find this 1946D wheat. The area I searched possibly doesn't get a lot of people there is a coffee house and bathhouse at the end I searched, the volley ball area and carousel is at the other end and more of the picnic pavilons. I did find a lot of pennies, many of them are pre-1982...
This morning I did go back to the beach, when I started first coin I found was a quarter by one swing the other swing found this heart it measures 1/2" wide x 5/8" Top to bottom, it is junk metal. I proceeded to search for about 3 hrs 7AM to 10AM searching the TotLot and park around some picnic tables. It's still very humid out. Found a lot of coins here especially pennies.
