Arrived at the playground I eyed earlier in the year while MD'ing some property in Blue Island. Sign just past the entrance - no this, no that, no Metal Detecting. WTF 
Nada on the web site, is it too friggen hard to post some rules on the web, eejots. I MD'ed the playground for 30 minutes anyway - too ticked off to just walk away. Started finding cents (as usual) so I switched the ACE to discriminate on nickels, pull tabs (in case of a ring *right*) dime and quarter. Started finding nickels. Ended up with five nickels and eight cents. I also collected some garbage. Okay to toss garbage all over the place but to metal detect *the horror*. Buzzing the park district Monday to see if the playground counts. I'm sure I'll get a generic "NO MD'ing" response from some brain dead lackey.
Went to a playground near me - cent, cent, cent, in fact over 20 cents before finding a "cache" of two nickels and a cent. Ended up with forty two cents, a few dimes and some nickels. Tried a quick sweep of the volleyball courts and nabbed two quarters, a few more dimes and just a few cents. At least I ended up with a slightly better than anemic amount of clad.
Was just finishing up when a guy walks over and told me he lost a key last year in some heavy ground cover area. I asked him if he thought there would also be a lot of trash in the same area he dropped the key and he said no, it was on his property. I said "let's go". His house was only about 2 blocks away. Found a nail, staple (he was impressed the MD was that sensitive) and while sweeping near some landscape light fixture got a hit and viola - the key
He gave me $5 and old me to buy some beer, I gave it back and told him to make some extra keys 
Eyed his lot, didn't look great (on the smaller side) so I didn't ask if I could MD his property. At least finding the key put me in a better mood!
