We've had a lot of rain, so I decided to stick to some easy digs today. I dusted off my old Whites MXT and headed to a couple of playgrounds that are usually pretty good to me.
Let's just say I have a sore back ... I dug 110 coins total, including 34 quarters, one half-dollar, one dollar coin, and a couple of Ckuck-e-Cheese tokens.
As usual, I found all kinds of junk jewelry. I dug three rings, all junque (though one is solid copper).
But my best find was this little baby ...
I dug it under a piece of playground equipment. Gave a foil VDI (a solid, shallow 5). I knocked the chips away and saw it shining! I suspected it was gold, but couldn't confirm until I got home to my magnifier and saw the "10kt" on the post! Awesome!
Thanks for looking!

One of the tot lots at a particular elementary school is always an easy-dig clad honey hole. I pull $10-15 out of there every December/January. It's like the kids are sowing quarters for a harvest or something!
