You know, it seems that here in Texas, schools and parks are often built on old homesteads and finds like that are amazing to me! One of these days maybe I will be so lucky. Good job! :thumbsup:

It is a child's playground, either at a park or a school.

Re: Let's see your tot lot finds!!!

I've been hunting the tot lots for over 20 years. So far I've dug out over 200 pieces of gold jewelry. What I've noticed is that most of my success come from the schools that have the highest percentage of Asian and Hispanic kids. For some cultural reason the Asian and Mexican kids are really decked out in gold jewelry. They are wearing gold rings, gold bracelets, and gold chains with gold religious medallions. All this stuff ranges in 10K all the way up to 24K. My advice is just find the schools where the Asian and Mexican kids are, that's where the gold is!
