I guess there's been so many gold coins found and posted on here lately that I thought for a second that I somehow found one too, lol...(It's a game token). I flipped it out of the wood chips at a school in a nearby town. I know it would be a miracle to find one there but it gave my heart a jump start for a second anyway. I hunted the tot lots and one city park today and found a variety of trinkets and some newer coins. I did find one tot lot that must have been overlooked for many years because I found several coins that had been there quite a few years. I just happened to see it behind the school. I did find a CZ CHINA 925 earring and a pair of earrings about 2 feet apart that must be Avon or something similar. The Hot Wheels car is a 64 Lincoln dated 1999. I found that knife about 4 inches deep in one sand tot lot at the city park. Thanks for looking and have a good one.

Nice finds. Silver in any form is good. Congrats on removing the knife from the sand lot. Looks about like the one I use. You can add it to your selection of digging tools. Good luck and HH!

Ive done the same thing with brass coins in Germany. They made a lot in the 1920s and the first one that poped out of the ground almost gave me a heart a take.

Hey there, it looked clean the best I could tell but I too had to wonder about it.
