    Silver in the park-and a surprise!

    As usual I have been getting out only for about 20 minutes in the morning on the way home to detect at the local sports park. I have been concentrating around the play set area and edges of the parking lot lately. This morning I had better luck than the past few days-no more junker costume jewelry, but finally got silver.

    After this find I walked along the edge of the soccer field and found what rang up as a quarter. When dug, I realized it wasn't a quarter, but maybe a token because of the wavy edge. It wasn't until later when I cleaned it up when I found it really is a Jamaican $10 coin. (worth about 8.6 cents US). What that's doing in Wisconsin I may never know! lol Still a nice find though.
