Did some detecting around the trees until I got tired and hit the playground area to increase the number of finds.

The silver thing is the back of a wristwatch.
This old park has some secrets I wish I could unlock.
This park was once a cemetary at - wish I knew more about that aspect.
There is also this brick road (found a horseshoe buried under one of the bricks last year).

This place is near a high school (several blocks away) and frequented by those who don't want to be in school.
And there is this old school (which replaced 2 other elementary schools - one a small wooden one that was too small and was replaced by a larger wooden one - which later burned to the ground). (Already checked around this school - they had the turf removed and new installed only a few fairly current coins found there in the past):

Between the cemetary and the kids who may be looking for trouble I always have an uneasy feeling hunting there alone. I keep looking over my shoulder and was once shocked to see this 'shadow' following me around:

Since I haven't seen any pics of me at the CMD Forum Hunt, figured I try the self-timer on the camera to see how it works and give those who didn't make it an idea of what I look like (not the best picture):

It poured last night. Had hopes it would cool things down by the time I got out of work and would soften the ground. Still raining when I got out of work so went to bed. Got up around 1 PM and the humidity about knocked me off my feet. No detecting today.
Hope others are getting out. I know some are still recovering from all the fun they had at the forum hunt, others have other responsibilities keeping them from hunting and then there are those who seem to have disappeared (where are you Betty? Dennis? and others).
