morning at the tot lot

Decided to give the sod a break and hit the totlot near my office. Spent about 45 minutes getting my morning exercise! I decided to dig everything, including pennies and to my surprise, 5 of those dead on penny signals turned out to be Chucky Cheese tokens. Got 6 all of last year and now almost doubled my count in one outing. Also found my first Swedish Krona coin. Neat find for me since I just recently connected with a foreign exchange student from high school who lives in Sweden. I'll have to tell him that I found it. Here are the pices!

Update our score OZ! Just another 10,000 pull tabs or 500 tokens should put us in the running!:lol:
 
Way to go OZ! I managed a junk necklace, junk bracelet, a silver Rosie and a small pile of clad this weekend. Will try to get the pic done tomorrow. Say, saw that you're on that other forum a bit, how do you like it over there. I'm registered there, but never have posted..... yet.
 
Finds from a number of spots this weekend.....

Chucky strikes again!

Went back to my favorite totlot.... where I found 5 Chuck Cheese tokens the other day and I found another one along with a SAC dollar and the usual clad.

Managed to find more than $1 in clad in MI. Only took 2 beaches, a double volleyball court, three tot lots and a out of the way small public boat launch (where I found the most clad).

The junk ring was found at the boat launch, the wheat ear at a tot lot that is at a beach, just under the surface of the sand.

Junk ring and wheat ear. I forgot to shoot it with the FMDF08 tag so I did a cut and paste job. I can easily reshoot if necessary.

Huh? Well that's interesting..... these photos that I have (had....) at Photobucket have disappeared. :mad: Well, that's one way to keep Team 250 from adding points! :lol:I'll have to re-upload the pics when I get a chance. Maybe Monday am. :roll:
 
A couple of days on the road!

Sioux Falls seems to have some active MDer's working hard; but I managed to find a little!
