New School yard

I was coming back from an out of town appt and decided to hit the playground at the local school. I thought if I only hunt in the wood shaving then they won't care that I don't have permission. It was a fairly hot day about 87 so I stayed about 1 and 1/2 hours. As I was mding I was getting lots of penny hits (explorer 2 is very good at telling me what coin I'm digging, I mostly only coin shoot) but a penny in the pocket is better than an empty one. Anyway I ended up digging 26 pennies, one 1945 wheatie, one nickel, 4 dimes and 14 quarters. The reason I got so many quarters is, as I was headed back to the car swinging as I go I see something redish orange a couple feet in front of me, low and behold it is a quarter wrapper with 10 quarters in it, it must have been some kids lunch money he put down to play on the slide. I sure bet his mom wasn't happy with him that week. All together for me that was a good day, no jewelry but I like coins anyway. Happy Hunting all.

Hey Ruben if you haven't hunted that school yard yet I would make it a priority!! You may find some serious silver there or maybe old toys. School yards are great when you don't have a lot of time and they also restock them selves if school is in session. You find anything from toys to jewelry to coins. Good luck on your search. HH :)
