Hi all,

Decided to hit a Tot-lot that always produces well for me before I hit the park I got the big Silver cross the other day. Using my Tesoro Lobo, I was pulling lots of coins, got a Chuck E Cheese token, and some other weird looking token. Got home, and counted $7.51 in clad. Checking the weird token it actually turned out to be a 1901 French Indo-China Silver 10 cent coin :o Somebody had drilled it for a necklace, and lost it in the Tot-Lot. I couldn't believe it. Thats makes my second Silver coin I've found.

Happy Hunting everyone

It's incredible what turns up in playgrounds
Way to go!

Thanks everyone for your replies. As Plehbah was saying, playgrounds just reward with all sorts of treasures. Every signal is exciting, whether its a coin, bling, or something that just makes the heart skip a beat. Playgrounds are the best.
