Searched 3 School Playgrounds on Nov. 8, 2009

And boy was I tired afterwards, I did the Happy OH YES!!! at the first location I found my first gold ring on the inside does have the 14K, oh and also found .88 cents. After there I went to the second place I had added to my list, there were 4 play areas but only did 2 the others were to far for me to walk and moving the car closer was out of the question, so only found .48 cents (I believe someone else searched here saw holes in the woodchips in areas that could of had coins, but found coins in the grass). The third location I decided to do after all, weather was getting nice and warm. When I got there I had to walk thru alot of Goose Poop, yuck!!. Did get hits here especially in the grass area, found $1.75. Back started hurting so I called it a day.

Coin Shooting for Today...

This morning was a dark gloomy day, just didn't seem to lighten up. Went to a new location and found a TotLot, not much found there .36 cents but has some areas I want to check out in the future. Went back to the Beach/Park got a lot of pennies and some other clad. My first hit when I got there thought it was a metal button but when I looked at it closer I saw that it was a token.

Coin Shooting One Tot Lot...

Today, I was almost gonna pass on Metal Detecting not feeling to good, but decided to hit one playground and then call it a day. I'm glad that I did decide to do this one, I haven't been here before but have seen the place. As soon as I got started for awhile I was getting hit after hit with coins, quarters, dimes, nickels and the trusty penny. This place has been my best yet in coin finds. I take it that no one has detected this place. Also found a small heart pendant (looks like stain glass) and a broken cell phone in the wood chips.

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...

Coin Shooting at 3 locations...

This morning I went to the beach, a bit earlier. The events that were there yesterday are there today also. Not much people there at 7:00AM, so I searched the playground again (yes, the one I saw the old gentleman last Sunday searching.) Right away I found 2 quarters and a dime, my ACE's bells went like crazy. I came out pretty good, got a $1.09 at that location. Well the people started rolling in a little after 8AM so I started to roll out about 8:30AM...Went to another TotLot again have been to this one several times, found nothing in the woodchips so I searched the grass on the edge of the parking lot, got 2 pennies didn't want to leave empty handed. I plan on searching that area a bit different, there is a sledding hill not far but would like to have another person with me, can't see it from the parking lot. I will search the grass around the area of the playground...This afternoon I again searched the house next door, found out that house is about the same age as ours, early 20's. I came out not bad, .37 cents and two of them wheat pennies...
