Cursed be the rubber tot lots

[jsandin]

I scouted several playgrounds with the modern plastic climbing apparatus. But when I got there, I found the ground beneath them covered with a compressed, un-diggable rubber mulch-mat, which cannot contain any finds. I haven't seen this stuff before.

Some desparate digging under trees, in the frozen ground, yielded a clad dime, a rusty nail, and a rusty wire.

But I have been photographing all my finds because I know there are others that enjoy looking at anything that was once buried. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I enjoy looking at real treasure finds but why people want to show all the "trash" they've found is beyond me .

I know the pain of mats, around here only the rich kids lots have those and your not allowed to detect in those places anyway.

Some may not be interested in seeing any and everything you find but I AM! I feel it is wrong to only post the "good" stuff. It gives the impression that only good stuff is found when the opposit is the truth. More often you will go out and only find a few cents. You are supposed to enjoy the hunt, the day and just being able to get out. You post what ever you find. WTG
