Strange finds for an Elementary school

[Georgia girl]

Hi all, I went out this morning for a little over an hour to our local elementary school playground and was quite surprised to find almost an equal number of bullets to coins. I would have been there longer but battery light came on on the MD so I figured Id wrap it up. I Found 9 coins totalling 1.38 and shell casings from a 45 handgun, 2- 30 carbine, 1 from a 30-30 and 1 from a 30-06 and 4 maybe 5 bullet heads ( I dont know what else to call them) also found a set of PO box keys. Not much but it was interesting, Im definatly going back with fresh batteries G-girl

G-girl I would go back also. Makes you wonder about all them shells in the playground, but it makes it interesting.

Except fore the 30-30 cartridge, they are all military rounds! Must have been a range there at one time or another? Back in the 60's maybe.

Kids will tell you some playgrounds can be like battlefields!

All those shell casings are kinda scary, hope they've been there a long time, I love hitting the tot lots, all kinds of interesting finds there, nice hunt G Girl!!!

Looks like those kids play rough over there.
You should always carry a spare set of batteries with you G-Girl.

It will be interesting to see what else you dig up over there....grenade pins, perhaps?

Nice finds, and great job on IDing the shells. The middle bullet on the bottom row looks interesting; it looks like a larger caliber and it appears to have a white patina. Can you tell if it's possibly Civil War era, or something more modern?

Scary how many bullets are found in parks and playgrounds. Glad you found some good stuff too!
