Some of this mornings finds...

This morning I was glad to be out detecting, haven't been out with the Ace since Friday morning. Had problems in our neighborhood with neighbors having loud parties (police was called many times from the neighbors) and and the house next to us had a very large group of people 50+ in the small apartment, after they all piled out someone started shooting. This making it a very long sleepless night making Saturday a very tired day and Sunday it rained. I have to say city living is the pits.
I did find these items in the woodchips of the TotLot at the beach also found another Chucky Cheese token 2007, along with alot of clad coins. Did very good at one swing set, at one swing found .62 cents at the other end of the swings found 2 quarters. Dimes were found just about everywhere in the play area.
Did check the grassy area found some more coins. Tomorrow, I will go to some play areas I haven't been to for a while and see if they were re-stocked.

Found a Toyota...

Went to one village park, have been to it a couple of times so I thought I'd hit it today. When I got there I saw that the TotLot had the woodchips replaced with a recycled rubber mat. Since I had planned on searching there and some of the surrounding area of the playground, I decided not to stay. Went to another Town Park, have been there also in the past. There are two good sized TotLots and some picnic tables in the area. I searched the woodchips, not to much so I went around the outer part in the grass found some of the larger coins (quarters all found in the grass). Did find another Chucky Cheese token this one is 2003, at first I thought it was a quarter. Around the other play area in the grass I found the Toyota emblem it is 1 6/8" Wide x 1 1/4" High, must of been from a key ring or someones necklace, on the top above the hat shows that there was a loop or something that has broken off. Not to much found, had to stop started to rain...

Did find some coins in the woodchips and in the grass. Behind a bldg at the west end of the park next to the bath house I come across another coin spill like the other day but this was pennies. Looks like the people at the business dropped the pennies than swept them into the grass, all were found in the grass on top of the soil (saw the way the grass was raked down). Was at least 50+ pennies, did find the 1936 wheat penny with in the bunch.

Went to two parks this morning out of the area I normally search, the first one not to good .07cents this was just in the woodchips. The second location did better, but nothing was found in the woodchips. There was a town crew working in the playground leveling the chips, before starting I asked if he wouldn't mind if I searched the area, he said was okay with him. Went into other areas in the park did okay. One worker that was mowing/trimming sounded like he was shouting over at me, than he got into his cart and drove to the shelter behind me, he stood and watched for awhile than proceeded with trimming. I found a cheap ring gold tone, the metal was very light weight. And $1.96 in clad.
