Tot Lot and Gold Rat

[ModernMiner]

Well, it was 95 degrees and humid here today in Raleigh. I was in no mood to hit the old farm at lunch and deal with ticks and lots of digging. I decided to hit a tot lot I've been wanting to detect at for some time now.
Because of the heat I was able to hit it without any kids at all there. The good news was, I found a bunch of clad, some of it buried pretty deep in the wood chips. This leads me to believe there is no one detecting in the area, and hopefully I can find more items out around the ball field. Once it cools down of course.
Yes Folks, my BIG find today was a Golden Rat token from Chuck-E-Cheese. Wow!!!
Do you think someday future MDers will be digging these up, and they will actually be a great find? Hmmmm.

I made up some signs (see picture attached) that I will be putting up at all the local play areas. What do you think?
Thanks for looking.
-MM-
P.S. I will be posting a tidbit of info in the "Discussion" section on how some of you may be able to locate some new hunting spots.

LOL MM I love the sign! great finds too!

That sign is pure evil genius. I love it. Haven't been able to get out myself in a week. Found some clad and a .925 earring with my wife. I only get 4-5 10 minute hunts when I'm out with her to get walkies.

So, great finds, and WTG.

PS...the pink zipper pull is quite fashionable and all the rage these days...Just ask Rid...he'll tell ya...

Nick,
I don't even want to think where Ridley has a pink zipper at. If so, I may have to stop hunting with him!

Hi MM!
Glad you got out and had the chance to go for the gold!
Nice assortment of finds.
At least those CC tokens have a date on them.
I think I have found at least 6 CC's and probably 10 other brand achade tokens this year. They sure ring out on the detector.

Smiles!

Civil,
I got one of those in my front yard out by the road. That pays for my gas once a week.
Thanks,

To much heat for me today but great finds.
If we gather enough CC tokens we`ll be able to go out for dinner one of these days to discuss our favorite hunting spots. (Maybe)

That sign you made is a hoot.
