Let's see your tot lot finds!!!

[thrillathahunt]

Of course we all know that tot lots produce some amazing finds every now and then for those who dare enter their confines. I thought it would be interesting to see what fellow t-netter's have "discovered" in them. Here are a few goodies that I have found in the sand and chips the last couple of years or so.

I have posted these before, but actually found this in the sand of a tot lot. Also found an IH penny without a readable date. You just never know!

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!

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what does the expression "tot lot" mean ?

[baylorhall]

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

[Mental Granny]

And hopefully after a long weekend of picnics they will be good !

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!
