Default Searched here and there

Hit a tot lot for about 1 hour, then a volley ball court for about 10 minutes and then two corner, corners sidewalks that were ripped up. The volleyball court yielded one dime, no more, no less. The corner, corners yielded two memorials. *yawn*. The tot-lot was better yielding 4 quarters, 14 dimes, 4 nickels and 26 cents. 3 of the 4 quarters were about 5'' down, most of the other coins were within the first inch of the woodchips.

I also found a few knick-knacks. A "token" from a Reader's Digest sweepstakes and a bracelet from Mexico that I think is pewter. Just doesn't have that "silver look" to it.

Good going Oz, neat bracelet and Reader's Digest find. I get all those sweepstakes entries from the Reader's Digest but never got that, may be old?
