They are tearing up the curb in front of the swimming pool in my village, and there are piles of dirt heaped up on the tree bank.
I thought I'd give the piles a go and see what I could find.
About 40 cents, all modern except a very nice 1956d wheatie still with a little color.
But - I found a 1" round brass disc "tag" that was used to identify your clothes basket at the swimming pool. At the time, it came with an elastic loop that we wore around our ankles. It had the number "69" on it.
So cool. When we were kids, our entire social life revolved around the pool - playing dibble-dabble, frogmen, and other games. This was a nice find to "return" me back to those days, all the more poignant since a good friend's Mom just died that lived kiddy-corner from the pool.

Good luck at that spot if you get to hit it again.
