Default Small park hunt

Collection of odds and ends. Could only scan about 20% of the park as a rug rat softball team was practicing. The tot lot yielded 3 quarters (2 on the surface) and seven cents. The park yielded two keys (different areas), a Science pin that is stamped ITALY, two quarters, 3 dimes, 3 nickels and five cents. I'm also back on the costume jewelry finds

The science pin:




Costume jewelry. May look nice new, but after being in the ground *yuck*

I was actually on a key drought for a bit so it was nice to find two (they rang up as dimes).

BTW - put my stock coil back on the ACE. Looked so lonely there, not being used all of last year :-)
