Went to the PostOffice this morning and since it was a nice day I hit the park. Some change , a 10k earing a silver earing and what i guess is a mothets ring with 4 birthstones. It was great to get out after the cold spell

Some nice and QUICK finds!!

Here in North Central Texas, those woodchips are being used also. However you may start seeing them on the decline.

On the Ft. Worth TV news stations, there was a story about them. It seems like it was in June or July. Over a weekend, on the school's perimeter 24hr. security camera fixed on the playground, the wooden chips suddenly burst into flames.

They went back to see if anyone had been using the playground equipment or near it to toss in something, but no one was seen using or near the playground when it caught fire. The flames did quite a bit of damage because newer rules came about when children were getting burned from the sun heated metal playground equipment. When changes were made, schools, cities and private daycares had to change to the plastic playground equipment. The school district removed the wooden chips when they put in new playground equipment....

The only other thing I don't like about the playground chips in our town is that the school's Maintenance Dept. covered the old sand/gravel mix with that plant blocking fiber material when they put in the chipped wood surfaces. When the detector goes off showing what appears to be a quarter, more times than not, the coin is under the fabric layer and I'd have to cut through the fabric to get down to it.... Do I dig or not dig

Sweet finds for a quick spin thru the chips. I've dug through the weed barrier chasing a signal on occasion, but its a lot of work for questionable return. What irks me about the wood chips is that some cities buy chips that are mixed with all kinds of metal bits, looks like fence pieces or something. Pain to detect in, but more dangerous for a kid to fall on. I clean out what I can until it gets too frustrating.
