Let me start by saying that I don’t like to hunt tot lots. There is something about digging in bark or rubber chips that just annoys me, and 99% of the time all I find is clad which isn’t particularly what I am looking for.

So I went out to a 1950’s park that hadn’t been very productive in the past. This hunt was no different and I was getting ready to call it a day. As I was walking back to my car the sprinklers kicked on which forced me to take a detour through a pretty good sized tot lot.

I made some haphazard swings as I walked through it and hit on a solid signal. I kicked at the bark not wanting to bend over when I saw a glimmer of gold. It’s not marked but it tested for 10K and weighs 8 grams.

I still don’t like hunting tot lots though.

Think the Gold Gods turned on the sprinklers so that you can give tot lots another shot from now on.

There’s gold in them there tot lots...

Nice score good for you

Congrats! You don't see many of these posted. Sometimes in this hobby it's better to be lucky than good, at least for me that's the case.

Beautiful bit of gold! Looks hand made, like something from India, but they wouldn't consider anything 10K and worthy of being worn.
