Typical F70 morning..:wiggle:.

[mudpuppy]

Hit a bunch of totters and sportsfields, for 3hrs this am...got this strange heavy object..I think it must be some sort of babbit?, its not pure lead, but equally as heavy, hard to scratch, pinged in high like a Q..[attachment 313291 may17-15.jpg].anywhoo. nothing of note really, there is some sort of strange foreign 50c coin that hit like a nickel, I wanted to take a closer look at it, but accidentally threw it in the tumbler, so we will have to wait for a few hours to see what it is...nice to find a lot of clean fresh drops that spend....totters here are swept clean around the toys, but theres money in the main areas especially way out in front of the swings, furthur than you would think a cremesicle eating fat kid could tumble!..the 70 can cover a 12' swath, so its good for sweeping the mains really fast if theres nothing under the toys...and, its the height of soccer and track season, so a guy has to go really fast and light early Sundays for beer money![attachment 313292 may17-15-1.jpg] I'm gonna call it a day and perhaps tumble some of my tarnished scrap silver coins using dryer lint as a matrix this afternoon...I remember reading somebody used it for wheaties a few years ago, and they came out nice and polished, so I wonder if it will work on silver? I'll take before and afters and report back...

Yup, with the amount of cents you are digging, I do see a Piece of gold chain in your future. Good sweeping Mud, that's a nice haul I see there. Kick back and enjoy the suds. HH jim tn

Nice hunt John..

Heres a shot of this strange coin...must be some sort of Dinar? Sounded like a big nickel, If somebody knows what it is, pipe up! Definitely from the sandbox, ...Of course, Dearborn is only a few hours away...you find this in Ala/bygosh/bama, or West/bygod/Virginia and maybe it would be time to worry!

You never know what you will find in a totlot, besides zippers and pencil erasers ends thats for sure...Most of the foreign coins I have found have come out of totlots or soccer fields, makes complete sense, kids get their dipskimmers on these things and take them to school!...I remember a few years back, one guy found a fresh drop Morgan dollar in a totlot! Another guy, I think it was BHLandstar, found a huge 24k ring..so big it sounded like a quarter!,

I've seen a lot of nice gold/silver chains posted as well...every noobie out there is hitting the totters though....hard to find one that has not been hit in several years just loaded...they do come along, but a guy has to keep an eye out...

I might need this one someday to bribe our future overlords perhaps, or to gas up my camel or pay my taxes?! AllahuAkbar! Cool coin, who does'nt like a good machete? I know! I'll take it down to the beer store and try to pass it off as the new Obama $50 dollar coin! Last week, the kid behind the till nearly took all my Chucky Cheese tokens as the new Hillary dollar! The resemblance was there, I just could keep a poker face!...What a great Sport this is! Bee double E double R you in?, Beerrun!

I throw all my wheats in the tumbler and they come out great. Silver does well in there but electrolosis works better.
