Default found some clad and a bracelet

in my search on Tuesday. Found a bracelet at the beach that looked like gold but it was nothing. Later I went to a park located right next to the beach and found $8.52 cents. 23 quarters and 52 pennies. The rest were dimes and nickels. Oh then I also found 2 keys and an old water sprinkler and a coin from Australia which is probably worth nothing at all but it was so fun. I will try to post a picture when I get my camera ready sometime when I get a chance but right now not too worth it to post. I WAS SURPRISED THAT I FOUND MORE STUFF AT THE PARK THAN THE BEACH. I am going to go to a different park with kids to check out different places.

Default it was

at a park where they have all those workout stations and the one I got it in was at the incline sit-up station where people lay down on a declicne position to do sit-ups. When I saw the inclinr sit-up machine I said let me see if I have luck here and boy was it good. Those were the best sounds I have ever heard out of my machine. I could not go wrong. Everywhere I would scan at that area which was like a 8 by 8 I would find some clad. I was finding clad like I usually find bottlecaps then when people asked me how I was doing I told them "oh just a couple of cents here and there. LMAO. After a while I had things to do so I dug up all my holes and left. I am definitely comming back!

I wish our park had workout stations... are these for adults?? That is a great place for coins to fall out of one's pocket... an inclined situp machine!

Default yeah

it's this station where it hooks up your feet and the person is in a decline position doing sit-ups. Never thought I would find so much and I'm ticked off because if I could I would have been there for 4 or 5 more hours detecting. Maybe if I go deeper I will find more older coins. The park is about 45 minutes away so I will see if I can check it out again. BUT YES IF PARKS HAVE WORKOUT AREAS ESPECIALLY THE INCLINE SIT-UPS WHICH THE PERSON IS IN A DECLINE POSITION DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT.
