early sunday morning, (now, i just returned) i hunted a new (1y ago) kids playground in a local park. its about 10m in diameter. with about 6in depth of sand. found lots of annoying foil n stuff. but also found, 3x $2 coins, 3x 20c, 2x 10, and wait for it.........an american quarter!!! it was in good nick too. all the other coins were looking like crap. the quarter looked shiny new. is there silver in a quarter? its dated 1990.
im now thinking about my next try. i might talk to an old local first and get some ideas. one question though; i was detecting on all metal. so when i went near a metal post holding a slippery dip or swing or see-saw (teeter-totter for you yanks) the compadre would beep and so i couldnt detect near them. i then turned the knob clockwise to the other way and it stopped doing it. i didnt gat a chance to continue and see how it worked as a lady came along and the noise upset her dog. then someone else came and i thought it was time to go. but what had i done by turning the knob? and what would have been the result?
