Coin Shooting this morning at two parks...

This Morning I went Coin Shooting at two local parks, mainly checked out the Tot Lots. These places I have been to many times the last couple of years. The first park is next to my sisters house, when I got there I see that some changes have been made, part of the wooded area has been cut down and the park extended. The search here has produced .57 cents 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 17 pennies and a button. I searched for about an hour.


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.

Morning at the Beach...

Here at the beach I started out at the TotLot, found some clad coins and this weird type button looks like it came off of something denim or Gothic. The size of this button is 1" long by 1" at the widest point.
At the spiral slide in the woodchips I also found an unspent bullet 350 Auto this item I don't want to save, usually I see a police car in the area but not today. After I got home and mowed the front yard, than I talked to the neighbor told him about my find and that I want to dispose of it properly, he told me to call the police and they would pick it up. I did and they did come to pick it up, to dispose of it the right way. **Never throw a live bullet into the trash**.
After the play area I went over to a different area of the park, here there was a gravel parking lot, found quite a few coins in the gravel parking area. I this area I found this pendent which registered as a penny/dime on my ACE250, looks like it's a frame for a dogtag. The size is 2 1/2" long by 1 5/8" wide, belive it hangs on those ugly big chains. There was an event here over the weekend with all kinds of modern and old fire trucks and live music, where the stage was I found one of the guitar picks (red) Quality Taylor Guitars H...
