The Stairs to Nothing and the Secret of the Monkey Bars

We woke and went out for our favourite breakfast.
The "Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day" song seemed to have worked blessing us with beautiful sunshine and blue skies for as far as the eye could see.
Today would be the day that we would get to go south to the ruins. I consulted with the aerial maps and entered co-ordinates into the GSP to make sure we found the exact spot after our 1km hike through dense bush. We only got mildly disorientated as we found the concrete steps of the old building.

Well.... and that is all that we found.

I think the build must have burnt down with metal siding for all we could find was hunk of melted metal around the house. We also found a giant bee hive 20 feet away.
The sun was blazing hot so we continued to the second structure that we had marked with the GPS. We found an old axe head still embedded in a tree (Not what you would consider metal detecting). But nothing us or interest was found. It is had to get good sweeps of the detector with the high weeds and grasses.
We had only brought 2 bottles of water and I had begun to get tired and dizzy from the heat. We managed to get back to the car but the water bottle inside were boiling hot. We drove to a Tim Horton's to get 2 "Ice Caps" (made with chocolate milk) which turn out to be our best find for the morning.

After cooling off we decide to detect where we do the best - at apublic school. We went back to the "legendary ring school" to scan the rest of their school yard. We scanned the baseball field and soccer field before we saw the had a second playground (there was a third but we didn't think toddlers in the nursery playground would carry lots of money) The monkey bars surrendered a sterling silver necklace, a return the baseball field brought forth $2.64 in change.
The sandboxes added a heart charm and a ring. Soon after we began finding a dinky car and a pile of change. Why is it the last places we look always brings the best items?
