Hello all,,,
I have been hitting a few of the Tot-lots and play areas at some of the local parks lately. They've been pretty good to me so far. The third signal I came across the other day was a small, short, blip reading foil. I dug down to a depth of about 4" and out pops the nice little Wedding Band?. I guess that's what you would call it. It's marked 14K and has the letters "TW inside of an oval"? next to it... My second gold for the year. ;D

Another nice surprise was a 1956/D wheat cent. Although, it too was at a depth of about 4", I can't help but to think it hadn't been there too long. It still looks brown. I don't think I had ever found a brown wheatie while detecting. I thought this was an odd find for the wood chips...

The last pic shows the $1.82 in clad along with a memorial cent that has been holed. I think I might stick it onto my detecting belt for luck...

I slept under the fan the other night and developed a pretty good cold and my eyeballs have been watering way too much to read the forum, so I'm going to try and do some catch up after posting. Hope to see ya there...
Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Nice ring, WTG!
 

Cool ring, have only found one piece of gold this year a small dolphin charm.

Looks like you found a good place to go. Remember it and go back in a few weeks, most of the time they replenish themselves, if people are still using them.
 

The tot lots haven't been to kind to me lately. I am going to give them some time to re-seed themselves.

Great going on the ring. I want one. ::)
 

Congrats on the nice gold ring! What's the date on the holed memorial, is it a copper or a zincer? HH, Mike
 

Congrats on the gold! Those tot lots are good to you.
 

Very nice ring! Gotta love those wood chips. Nice wheatie, too.

Thanks you all very much. It's always better when you can share with your friends...

The penny is a 1974D and it looks to be made of copper. I don't see any of the zinc showing where the hole was punched... Looks like someone was playing with a punch press. the hole doesn't seem to have any particular reason for being there..
Good luck all, & Happy hunting~
