Went to hit the "dime store" playground for an hour or so around 14:30 Friday but too many kids, so I tried the park instead. Ended up with $1.96 in about 90 minutes of detecting. Another worthless wheatie - 1952D. I also found my third whistle, some nut that may be for connecting a gas line and a drawer handle. The big "cache" was 3 dimes and 4 cents, all on the surface. Not sure why the dimes and Q's got coated in copper Usually it doesn't happen when tumbling with pennies, and why just one of the Q's came out nice and shiny I don't have a clue.
Saturday AM I hit the playground with my worst results ever - just 93 cents. For not detecting it for almost one month I expected better. Me thinks someone else is detecting there now as I found $0.00 by the monkey bars, swings and slides. Except for 2 dimes, all the money was scattered here and there. I also dug up about a dozen pull tabs, 10 being the older ones that were about 5'' down in densely packed composted wood chips? A PITA to dig them out. I also found a copper button that was also about 5'' down. Coins on the other hand were near the surface.
