Beautiful day, up and out early, anticipating my large large tot lot hunt and that long sought after elusive gold! Crossing the grass there was the normal clad and a little trash. Once in the wood chip filled tot lot, swinging and walking, dead silence! What? Check the detector, yep it's on and working! I realized after several swings and not even trash that this tot lot had been detected.

I searched it anyhow just to see what I could find. Found some clad just a little trash and at the far end a folded $5 bill just laying there! Told the man upstairs "thank you, and I won't whine" .
Search part of the field too, more clad.

Went back to another school to search the sports field but it was locked, so I searched the front of the school. A guy in a blue pick up stops to talk, he detects too..."tot lots and the school sports fields"! Ah ha! We had an interesting conversation. I did not tell him about the tot lot, or the five, or the fact that he is leaving a lot of nickels! If you're out there dude, you may want to dig the nickels too! image.jpg
The earring & Alex & Ani thing are junk. I had a good day! GL. &. HH to all!

Thanks CMD! It was frustrating not being able to get out this winter, lots of time to google new places to try later.

Thrifty- It may have been the "older" tots who dropped the five along with the dice! Just lucky timing, I got there very early Sunday morning, before anyone else.

When you are doing tot lots be sure to detect a couple of feet over the boundary where sand/chips meets grass. This has always been a great area for me, lots of coins and rings. I think because tot lot detectorists don't always bring diggers, and field guys don't get this close to the play areas.

Thanks Treb! That is an aquarium token with a shark on it.

Ivan salis- I dig all signals in a tot lot, I just gave everybody a break and didn't post my pile of trash...this time! :laughing7:
I found another tot lot for this Sunday morning! Yeah! And a large multiple sports field. So hopes are high!
