Search Around a Basketball Court in the Park

This afternoon I searched the area in a neighborhood park around a small basketball court.   I dug many items in the grass behind the bench (Trash and coins).  I even found a nickle on top of the mulch along the path leading to the court (right side of picture).

All items that were dug here.  Trash included a couple bottle tops, pull tabs, zipper, nails and foil.

Coins found: 1 nickle, 2 quarters and 3 pennies.

Return to the Sports Park

Today I returned back to the sports park where I had previous success.  The field that I had searched before was being used, so I searched the grassy areas around the next one over.  This seems to be the main field for the park and also has a lot of concrete, picnic tables and bleachers around it.  The last time I was here, there were lots of people in these areas watching a game.

The main areas were all covered in concrete.  I got strong hits from the concrete (probably from the rebar inside), the bleachers, picnic tables and fence around the field were all metal that made it difficult to search close to those items.  I focused my attention on a grassy area between the two fields.

I was surprised at how much trash I dug in this area compared to treasure.  Lots of pull tabs, a bent tent stake, a washer, a zipper pull and a few items of construction debris.

The treasure I did find included:  1 quarter, 3 pennies and a token from a local laser tag arcade.
