At Gold finds Spanish piec of eight in tot lot

[jimmyk]

Took my trusty At Gold to a tot lot this morning. Imagine my surprise. My first dig was a Spanish coin. Now...since I live in West central Missouri with the nearest ocean over a thousand miles away, I didn't exactly do the happy dance. It's a pretty nice repo. It's not light aluminum. It's got some heft to it and is as thick as a silver dollar. Al in all, an interesting find. Didn't dig a lot of stuff. Found a key, a couple of interesting buttons, a Pizza Street token and a Boy Scout tie clasp. Did find a 1940 D wheat penny along with a couple of quarters and a dozen pther pennies. Always nice to be out and digging in the fresh air.

Thanks for lookin' and keep on diggin'

Ha! Ya just never know what you can find in a totlot! Always something interesting! I hunt them hoping/thinking some kid raided Grandpas coin collection! I remember one poster a few years back found a genuine Peace Dollar in one! Most all the foreign coins I find are in totlots..kids take them in to show n tell or something I figure..good hunting there Jimmy!

Not to burst your bubble, but your sure that's thing's real? I hope it is, but I've found a few fakes over the years. One was on a beach in Florida and had me excited until I checked it out.

I said it was a repo. No bubble to burst.
