Stopped at a local Tot Lot today, between rain showers.? It was very wet and had just stopped raining when I thought to swing by and see if I could find anything in a short time I had between stops at Radio Shack and the Post Office.? I think I spent about 40 minutes there, searching the swings and about half of the rest of the area before I figured I had to leave.?
Anyway, was a typical day except for a low coin count but I did find 3 diecast toys in a lot that seemed littered with broken toys and such.? There was a girls sandal under a park bench and a Tonka Dump Truck that had been broken apart some.? Searching the lot, I found 3 toys burried just under the surface to about 4" down.? ?Also, found what I think and hope might be part of an arrowhead.? The deal though is that a modern tot lot isn't a place you would expect to find such an item.? Thus I have some scepticism.? Anyone have an experienced opinion?? ?It seems to have the right shape and all and the area was occupied by some Potowatami up until the mid to late 1800s.? I suppose it could have been a re-creation kind of thing,*I recall people demonstrating how arrow heads were made when I was a kid in school), a lost find from someone else that got lost again, or
? Where did the sand in the tot lot come from before being put there.? ? ?
Lastly, I found an odd amount of change.? .815 cents.? or 81 1/2.? ? I found a 1982 penny that had been cut in half.? ?
Here are some pictures.?

Great finds otherwise for a Tot lot! That stone is to fragile, it also is not shaped right and or chiselled to a sharp edge, it is also to thick.
