A Very Windy Day of Detecting at the Beach/Park...

This morning finally not raining so I got out for some coin shooting. Went back to the Park at the beach, with not any people there the finds are starting to get thin but still able to find coins. I started out in the Tot Lot only a couple of pennies and someones drivers license under one of the play equipment on top of the woodchips. I also found a charm from a cell phone with XOXO as the design, the colors of the letters are pink and purple. there was a metal gold color leaf, possibly part of an earring. A small toy police officer and a piece of copper pipe. The license that I found was a under 21 kind, after I got home I called one of the neighbors about my find and who to call to return it to the owner. He suggested I call 311 and they had a police officer come and get it, the officer said I could of dropped it into the mailbox and it would of been delivered to the person (Hmm, good to know for the future if another one is found). After I got home and cleaned the coins I saw that I found a Wheatie a 1956D.

Skinny penny found last year in Tot Lot...

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.

I'm off to search some schools...

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.
