And they're MINE, Bebbeh!! The elementary school right next door to me has not one but four kiddie play areas (with those #$%@!! wood chips!) on their campus NOT counting the basketball court and play field.
I asked permission to detect on weekends and they said YES! So yeah, less than a block walk and bonanza!
Now, since they use wood chips, I am going to be VERY careful about making certain I pull ALL the nails and metal shredded shrapnel OUT and make sure they see what I am getting from those areas!
When I was detecting at the park near my other residence, I hauled out six and nine inch long spike nails that had been driven into telephpne poles, not to mention wicked triangular jagged shards of steel that had been torn up by shredding machines that had been used to chip the phone poles into material for play areas! I'm hitting that place in ALL metals!! I'll haul a LOT of can-slaw and pulltabs, but in the end... safer play areas.
We're talking serious danger, folks! And I can detect to my heart's content AND make the play areas safer for kids! Win-win!
