Hey Everyone,
Hoping things are well in your' neck of the woods.
A couple of months ago I scouted a woodchip playground and determined it to be untouched by a detector.
This weekend there was an itch to dig a bunch of coins and maybe find a piece of childs jewelry.
Four hours and with a little more than half of a 40X100 area covered my pocket was bursting and body fatigued.
The original thought was to knock out the whole playground in one hunt but due to the concentration of coin and heat
there is gonna have to be a second venture. No decent jewelry surfaced but after about fifty dime finds there was a
thought "wouldn't it be cool that with all these dimes one of these children might have dropped a silver one."
Ten minutes later a 1963 Roosevelt shines through the chips lookin' like the day it was pressed.
The days tally: 217 coins at $20.60.
First 2oo coin day, silver coin in chips, twenty dollar day and maybe a few others.
It was a fun memorable day!
Enjoy the pics and Happy Hunting!

Nice...Is the James Madison a dollar coin or just a token?
