Almost like the old days.

There is an old ballfield and playground in a sleepy little town near me. I had done real good detecting there a few years ago, especially when they scythed off and re-sodded the ballfield. I noticed the other day that had plowed up the playground area in one corner of the field. They scythed off about 10 inches of top soil. The swing sets, sliding board and jungle gym are still standing. I figured I better get in there before they pile in about 10 inches of wood chips. So, today I spent about 5 hours checking it out and, despite the ground starting to freeze, I had one of my most productive days in a long time.
First some odds and ends, some of these I eyballed in the dirt piles;

Next the clad dimes, nickels and memorial pennies:

Here's a corroded Indian Head Cent, a Buffalo nickel, Canadian Penny and 18 wheaties:

Late date silver:

Barber Quarter and Seated dime (sadly, there's some crud on it that won't come off):
