I decided to check out a tot lot i found last year but never got to hunt.
There were no expectations, just wanted to see what was there.

I was surprised at the low amount of trash and a high clad count, including a dollar coin. I'm pretty sure no one has hunted there, at lest not recently.
There wasn't much in the way of jewelry just 2 small junk pieces. This being a church school tot lot i was a little surprised i didn't find any religious pendants. Doesn't mean there isn't any, i just didn't find any.

The ground mantainence crew was in the front mowing, when I was leaving one of the guys came over and ask if I lost something and they could look for it.
I thanked him and explained it was a hobby, and i didn't lose anything.

Now this makes me wonder about me! :what:
In the past few years i've had a lady give me a quarter, and 2 offers to help me find what ever I lost. :what::what::what:

....maybe my persona needs a little work? :what:

That's a good amount of quarters, you bet that tot lot hasn't been hit in a long time, if at all. I'd hit it a few more times going nice and slow, there's got to be a St. Christopher there, there always seems to be a St. Christopher.

Paid for coffee thats for sure. I think this is the most i have ever gotten from a tot lot.

I will be back, i didn't cover all of it, and its hard to get close to the metal structures.

Definitely a good day! It is also great that the people that have approached you were of a positive nature. Often this is because of the perception they get at a distance. You must be representing the hobby wonderfully.

Well thank you for that kind thought! I probably look more like a bag lady especially towards the end of the hunt when i have dirt on me. :D

Nice bunch of coins, I'd be real sore after digging that much. gaela4 is right, I'd hit that place next three or four hunts, I know for me when there is a bunch of good sounds like all those quarters I might not even dig something like a pull tab or nickle. Go back looking for those midtones even if they sound bad. I bet there is a gold something in there hiding, that place has not been hunted in a long long time if ever. Has to be some gold in there.

"Tot Lot Clad" sounds like the name of a 1990's grunge band. :laughing7:

Keep hitting them, you will score your blessed bling again soon! Best of Luck, Sub 8-)
