Tot lot finds early this morning

[Bearharold]

I got out early this morning had ice on windshield of my truck but went to a small tot lot I wanted to try before it gets into winter weather . I didn't find alot but found 6 coins and a ring . The ring looks like silver with a diamond looking setting in it but can't see a silver mark in it , Has the word Thailand in it and thats all . It also isn't very heavy for the size of the ring .
Hope you all enjoy seeing it anyway .

Can you enlighten me, so I can sleep tonight?

Tons of Trash???? That's my guess. It makes sense to me. I have dug TOT over the past 2 years.

Tot lot = kids play grounds little kids =tots

 

[southernstyle]

Ohhhh. Makes sense, but I don't think I would have figured that one out. I like tons of trash better....I had a tot day. If I had kids, or even wanted any, maybe then I would feel like a dumb@$$ for not knowing that. Thanks for your explaining it though, I can get some sleep now.

Tot, short for toddler maybe, anyway bossman is right on.

I had to laugh at your "TOT" list....that's good and I like the "Tons of Trash". Somebody had too much time on their hands!

That's a cool looking ring Harold. Too bad it's not "real". And more clad to add to the bucket! Thanks for the great pictures and sharing them, Nancy

I loved his list also . Oh well he can sleep now anyway would hate to think my slang was keeping someone awake at night . lol Cashed in my mayo jar full of dimes , pennies and nickels I found this year and there was 56 dollars in it . I used all the quarters to do my laundry with .

That's not a bad amount of clad. What other hobby pays for itself? Gotta love it! We wait till the end of the year to cash in our clad. We won't have much since we didn't go to many "tot lots", etc. Larry and I did get to go detecting a while today. Last I looked, the truck thermometer read 55. Not bad for November in Illinois. Tomorrow is to be a few degrees higher. I need to clean my finds and possibly I'll post them tomorrow. HH, Nancy

Surprised one has not heard of, "Toys for Tots". The Marines are now taking toys for this Xmas and it is a good cause.....

 

[Nancy-IL]

Sure we have and a wonderful cause....Toys For Tots is too simple for our intellectual minds. I hate when that happens. Hoping to hit a few today or maybe just coin shooting. HH, Nancy
