Default My first cross

I hit the tot lot this morning for about an hour before the rain drove me back home. I didnt find much clad as I hit it a week ago and got $2.88. But I did find this cross which is pretty but not worth anything. Its got 11 stones all intact. Question: how often do y'all revisit the same tot lot? once a week ? once a month? Happy hunting

Nice looking find Georgia Girl.
To go back to a tot-lot that I just detected would depend on how much activity takes place there. If it gets used a lot then I would go back every couple of months.

Thanks Capt. B, I think this playground gets used quite a bit as its the only one in town and its surrounded by at least 6 ball fields so theres quite a bit of activity. I'll try hitting it again in a month or two or sooner if I hear of a big ball tourny going on. Take care G-girl

Nice find, G Girl! Sure is pretty!

I am hoping you have a bunch of Totlots that you can hunt and make a circuit out of them!

Very nice cross! I bet you are tickled to find it.

Tot lots and how often. Well for me that depends but a month sounds like a good idea. Good hunting to you, Beale.

Nice crucifix! I hit the tot lots in our park about every two weeks...more often if I only have 30 minutes or so to hunt and just want to get outside...my strangest tot-lot find: a dollar bill from Trinidad & Tobago!

HH!
