My park experiences have unfortunately been the same as yours.  The playgrounds aren't sand like they were when we were kids.  A lot of them are now covered with not just wood chips, but RUBBER chips!  That stuff is IMPOSSIBLE to dig in!  When I go to those types of places I often end up detecting under the larger trees, where kids climb and drop stuff out of their pockets.

Yes indeed, ask about a park if you are not sure. I went to a park I used to play at when I was little, I recently went back there to detect. The park had a neat old well coming out of the hill. A city official pulled up YELLING at me! Seems I was digging up the grounds of a historical park, the well was built around 1772 by David Zeisberger a Moravian missionary for the indians here in Ohio.....ooooops!!!!! I almost landed my butt in jail! The park was in no way marked as historical, I had no idea, so be careful!

I do not know about other places, but I started
cleaning out all the tot lots with in 50 miles of
my place two years ago.

They were never hunted very well.... I did well
for a good while just doing that.

I learned so much stuff that, I have carried that
info to every where I hunt.

So far, The finds seem to keep coming, on and
off.

Some times it just floors me..... I do not know
where it comes from. It happens in weard ways.

For instance,

I was hunting a tot lot that I have cleaned out
and re-visited several times. It has shreaded
tires.

I got a signal that was like a spike that they
use to hold the under fabric down. It was also
under the bottom of the slide. It was close to
the metal legs.

I do not know why I dug it, the shreaded tires
were piled up under the slide. I was wondering
why I was doing such a foolish thing.

Then, at about 10 inches, I fished out a 22.6
gram, 14k yellow gold bracelet

How can I make sense of that.

I still feal high after a couple of months.

The question is, why did that happen?

I do not know. I do not understand.

The only thing I can think of is that I do this
about 5 days a week.

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog

Yeah, park pickings have really slimmed down.

It must be the economy; everyone is staying home.

I'm spending more in gas then I'm finding. The only up side to this is the exercise I get in the process.
