I’ve hunted a lot of tot-lots over the years and never found any gold at one.

Today, had an errand to run before picking my daughter up from school, and between the two I narrowly didn’t hit up the one tot-lot in town as it would be a really short hunt. But it was raining which ensures I would be the only one there, and I had “Gold Siren” my waterproofed Compadre... so...

33¢ and a 10k gold ring (1.1g)

First gold for 2018 (monkeys off my back :lol:)

“Gold Siren” is set below iron so I don’t miss anything, and it was fun hunting with her again.

Happy hunting!

Nice gold man! I havent seen yellow since 2016 :wow: beginning to think my machine accepts pulltabs but rejects gold in any form :laughing: congrats!
 
My first gold ever was from a tot lot, tiny little 10K thing I sold.
I guess sooner or later we all trip over one don't we?
 
Congrats on your first gold !!! I am sure it won't be your last. I have found more gold in tot lots than any other location but then I usually find gold by accident while coinshooting.
 
Nice find, congratulations.

Thank you!

Nice Find!

Appreciated!

That surprises me, though your finding all kinds of killer old coins!

A nice little beauty!

Thank you

Whoop! There it is!

Yeah kicked some chips and saw a ring, always a surprise!

Awesome, I haven't had much luck with gold in tot-lots either!

Seriously! I’ve hunted a ton in totters and found plenty of 925 but this is my first gold out of one. Hopefully a trend :lol:

Ain’t that the truth!

Congrats,your one gold ring closer to that nox!

Yeah if I can ever bring myself to unload my humble stash some day! Thanks!

Small gold is better than no gold!

:lol: that is a true statement, I seem to have a penchant for finding the small ones

Congrats on the first gold of the season...fine hunt!

Thank you Captain!

Nice!!!

Thanks apes adore <== that’s what auto correct did to your user name :lol: pescadore! It’s my first gold from a tot-lot, and for 2018, gold number 19 otherwise. My first gold ring, still have and won’t forget, I found in November of 2013. 0.9 grams :lol: 2014 was better with 5 golds, 2015 only 1, 2016 gave me 6, 2017: 5, so we’ll see what the rest of 2018 will provide!

I just haven’t had the luck in tot-lots for some reason like you and many others! Not for lack of trying I tell ya. I have done best at lakes and soccer fields.
