I found a new place to detect and checked it out. It was a tot lot that I was hoping to find some goodies, but there wasn't anything in the playground area, and I mean even trash. I was disappointed until I started checking out the area outside the playground. There is a small grassy bank overlooking the playground and the clad I found there was unbelievable. Many targets turned out to be spills and a lot of the spills were quarters. I guess the only reason there would be so many coins is that the adults watching the kids in the playground would sit along the bank while their kids played. I found 56 quarters, 34 dimes, 20 nickels, and 72 pennies. I didn't post a pic of the pennies. Almost $20.00 in clad. I also found 5 old wheats, 2 1944, 1 1928, and 2 1919's. The wheats are pretty toasted. I also found several cheap charms, 2 old metal buttons, and 2 rings. One a nice sterling and the other one cheap gold plated junk. Most of the coins were recovered with a screwdriver and not very deep. It was a lot of work for an old man, but still enjoyable. Happy hunting and keep on swinging that coil. Thanks for looking
