Some finds from the "Hidden" Playground
Hi all, I detected this little playground that has been there since the late 60's early 70's that is in a cul de sac of a subdivision , funny thing is that I have lived here 35 years and didn't know it existed!
(Grew up on the other side of town)
I spent about 3 1/2 hours there so far and only did about 1/2 of the approx. 50x80' grass parallel to the sandy playground of about the same size.
I detected for no less than a minute and pulled up a looney, so I was off to a pretty good start.
About 45 min later I got a strong signal on my Ace 250 and pulled two quarters out of the same hole.......thought I would check the hole again and low and behold
more quarters, dimes , two toonies ($2.00 coin) for a total of $6.15 out of the same hole!!!. I also found a couple of junk rings some pulltabs, screw caps and some foil.
All in all it was a very good site which I think I'll return to ASAP as I'm sure it's far from cleaned out, And I haven't even touched the sandy playground yet!!!

The One Dollar Canadian Coin or "Loony" is so called because of the Loon depicted on the coin. If you have 2 Loonies = Two Loonies or shortened to "Tooney" thus the $2 Canadian coin is a "tooney" even though it doesn't duplicate a loon. Hope this helps.
