I put this in there so people will be able to search up playgrounds around there area and be able to hunt at them and recover jewerly or coins that kids and parents leave behind. I know this is probably not the place to put it. I already looked and did not find another section called Research unless I missed it completely.

Ok well anyway. I was searching for certain parks to hunt online through google.com and I found out this really cool website where you register for free and by-pass all of the profile updating page and you can search for different playgrounds in your area. Its pretty awesome! There are a lot of playgrounds that I did not even know about. They give you addresses and locations too! I thought i would share this with my fellow metal detectorists because this will make it easier for us to hunt and not have to search for the perfect spot. For us who search playgrounds.

I do not know if anyone else has found out about this.

Once you go to there website and register for free. Then a bar comes up on your screen that says My Kaboom! Scroll over to it and then you can go all the way down to Find Playgrounds Near you. Then it will say Find or Rate. Click that. Now it gives you the option to rate them as well. So once you have visited them you can rate them. I just thought this would be cool because you can search your state then the city and other cities nearby which have playgrounds and click on one and it will give you all this information about addresses and such.

By the way...ITS FREE!

Just thought it would be nice tool for all of us to use.

Only 1 playground listed in my area.
I have been to 10 so list is not complete.
May take some time I guess.

It's not you. I got "The criteria returned no results", yet in my zip code, there are 14.
