I decided to check out a tot lot i found last year but never got to hunt.
There were no expectations, just wanted to see what was there.

I was surprised at the low amount of trash and a high clad count, including a dollar coin. I'm pretty sure no one has hunted there, at lest not recently.
There wasn't much in the way of jewelry just 2 small junk pieces. This being a church school tot lot i was a little surprised i didn't find any religious pendants. Doesn't mean there isn't any, i just didn't find any.

The ground mantainence crew was in the front mowing, when I was leaving one of the guys came over and ask if I lost something and they could look for it.
I thanked him and explained it was a hobby, and i didn't lose anything.

Now this makes me wonder about me! :what:
In the past few years i've had a lady give me a quarter, and 2 offers to help me find what ever I lost. :what::what::what:

....maybe my persona needs a little work? :what:

That's a good amount of quarters, you bet that tot lot hasn't been hit in a long time, if at all. I'd hit it a few more times going nice and slow, there's got to be a St. Christopher there, there always seems to be a St. Christopher.
 

Paid for coffee thats for sure. I think this is the most i have ever gotten from a tot lot.

I will be back, i didn't cover all of it, and its hard to get close to the metal structures.
 

Impressive piles of clad, Ms..............that had to pay for more than coffee!!!
Too bad tot lots only give up those kinds of finds once or twice a year............really nice hunt.........
 

Definitely a good day! It is also great that the people that have approached you were of a positive nature. Often this is because of the perception they get at a distance. You must be representing the hobby wonderfully.
 

Congrats on your bodacious clad & junk jewelry finds - thank you for posting your pictures and great story & I wish you many more great finds while out dirt fishing.

Coffee for me, batteties for the detector. :D

Yes the pickings do get sparse once its been detected.

Well thank you for that kind thought! I probably look more like a bag lady especially towards the end of the hunt when i have dirt on me. :D

Thank you!
Hope you find some wish list items!
 

Nice bunch of coins, I'd be real sore after digging that much. gaela4 is right, I'd hit that place next three or four hunts, I know for me when there is a bunch of good sounds like all those quarters I might not even dig something like a pull tab or nickle. Go back looking for those midtones even if they sound bad. I bet there is a gold something in there hiding, that place has not been hunted in a long long time if ever. Has to be some gold in there.
 

Great pile of clad. Congrats
 

"Tot Lot Clad" sounds like the name of a 1990's grunge band. :laughing7:

Keep hitting them, you will score your blessed bling again soon! Best of Luck, Sub 8-)
 

Very nice pile of clad. Getting out is the main thing. Enjoy your posts.
