That's very interesting Phinbolt. I became a trash hunter this year also. Or I should say that I have expanded my trash hunting outside of tot lots.
Four months ago I read a post by Monte and he said that typically 98%+ of the gold and silver jewelry he gets each year, comes from the woodchip and sand-filled playgrounds at parks and schools. In the post Monte proceeded to tell a forum member how to find small gold jewelry in tot lots.
Here's a link to that post by Monte.

That post inspired me to follow his directions.
I've been digging everything in tot lots sense then. The targets in tot lots are so easy to recover that I have recovered thousands upon thousands of targets in the last four months and have recovered my share of gold and silver jewelry in the process.
Getting high quality metal detector headphones two months ago has accelerated my progress even more than before.
All those recoveries have tuned my ear and given me the confidence to move out of the tot lots and take my new found talents into the nasty trash places I have always been intimidated by.
So this year I graduated to the status of " A Trash Hunter ".
That's something to celebrate
