Very Warm Morning for Coin Shooting...

Went back to the park at the beach for some Coin Shooting, did okay.found some coins at the Tot Lot, before finishing at the play area I found what I thought was shell bracelet sticking out of the woodchips under the kiddy slid. Turned out to be a box covered in little shells with a yellow ribbon tied around it. When I got back to the car I opened up the mystery box, inside I found a rosary and some kind of plactic bag which that I thru out. The only thing from that I kept was the rosary. The box was wet and in poor shape so I tossed that too. Did find a lot of coins, also what looked like some type of clip, after I got home I took it apart and found that it had 2 dimes and 3 pennies. Also found a key and a wheat penny 1953D.

Soccer Field Search...

This morning, I went to the park that had the Soccer Fest over the weekend. Started in the area that had the venders, found some coins but they have been there for awhile because I had to dig for them (not on top of the soil). Than I decided to hit the field, one soccer field was made into two playing fields they had been shortened. I did find some coins $1.82 not a whole lot, the area looked like it had been raked along the edges (grass was flattened to one direction) or it was from the people that had been sitting there. Did find a house key that was multiple colors, a key ring hook (light pink) and another type of hook that has writing on both sides (Not for climbing and other side says Safe working load 150 LBS) and this hook is black. I gave up here for now and drove over to the Tot Lot at the other end of the park, only found .08 cents a nickel and 3 pennies. After that I quite for the day. (should of gone to the beach *Laughing*). I will come back here in the future and search this park at leasure. Did very good here last year.
