Man! Those chips were FILTHY! I found at least 3 pieces of heavy-duty can-slaw for every coin that I found. I spent way too much time there.
When I was done, I went to a much smaller tot-lot about 200 feet to the left. It was just as filthy. It took me until 8:45 to clean them both out. Wound-up with about $2.00 for all that work.
Then I noticed this big old tree. I was already tired, but I couldn't resist. I started working my way around the trunk. I found a few coins on my first pass. Then I moved out a couple of feet and I went around again. I kept on finding coins. By 10:15 I had worked my way to the tree to the right of it. Then, suddenly, I heard shouting. I looked up and noticed that 2 of the 4 baseball diamonds were infested with little baseball players. The players at the one closest to me were being told to forget about me and pay attention.
No doubt about it, I'm a bad influence. I'm evil. And I recently learned that I'm mean too. (Just ask Craig, he'll tell ya.)
So I went home and laundered my loot as good as I could. Found 76 coins; 12 quarters, 11 dimes, 6 nickels, and 47 pennies.
$4.87! Oh boy! Yesterday, Les from Nova Scotia found about the same number of coins but his added up to $22 and change. Them north-siders got the good coins.
But he didn't find one of these:
Better not let my mom see it. She'll want to go there and buy a new one.
And I found a wheatie!
That's number 4 or 5 for this year. Still haven't found any silver coins. (Aint found no oxknobs either!)
Time for a snooze.
