Got up early this a.m. to beat everyone down to a park where we have found some newer coins. Oh great!!?? the gates are still closed. So I decide to venture to another park 1 mile away. On my way I see a great big orange ball on the side of the road. Bowling Ball!! I throw it in the trunk. I make it to the second park and yeah! the gate is open. I do the tot lot first but not alot of anything except a rusted chain. I decide to do the basketball court and move to the side near the parking lot. It looks as if the parking lot drains right onto this basketball court. A tree with roots is right in the middle of the drain path. I hit the botttom of the drain path and right beside a tree root I come up with 2 quarters. I follow the path a little way and look up and see the concession stand. Jackpot?? No, trash!! I moved to a tree near the concession stand and get another quarter. Oh well, I am getting tired so I decide to head back to my car. I am by my first tree, but on the other side, I look on the ground and there in the drain path are pennies everywhere. I don't know why but at that time my detector goes haywire and starts squealing a constant tone (even pulled up off the ground). I turn it off and back on several times but it still is squealing. I did not give up!! I sat on the ground with my handheld pinpointer and started gathering pennies. After 20 minutes I turned my detector back on and it was working fine?? (gremlins?) I picked up some more pennies. I worked all the way around that tree!!!
I don't know if someone dumped the excess change there?? or maybe pennies are lighter than other coins and drained there?? One thing I do know is I will be sore in the morning!!
Sorry for being long winded. 161 pennies, 1-1940 wheat, 1 canadian cent, 3 quarters, 2 dimes, oh yeah a bowling ball!!
