Gangs, bullets, skulls and smoking 'J's behind the public school

It's Friday again and you know what that means... we survived another work week. And this was a hard one to get though... but you must already know that yourself.

We ordered in Thai food which cut down on our cooking and cleaning time so we were able to get out to do some metal detecting before it got dark. We loaded the equipment into the car and drove to a public school in which had some luck last year.

When we arrived, there was a gang of teenagers hanging out in the playground equipment. Mary was concerned about their presence but I knew I was bigger than them. We started detecting in the soccer field and Mary picked up two coins embedding in the surface of ground between the goal posts. It wasn't long before the teens creeped over to see what we were doing. I told them stories of pull tabs, bottle caps and balls of foil. They were quite impressed that our metal detector could pick-up foil. (I've never been impressed about how much foil our detecter discovers). They left the schoolyard and we moved to the playground equipment. We found mainly pennies and zippers amongst the climbing equipment and under the swing set we found a metal bullet caseing.

We moved over to the baseball diamond when another group of kids approached us. Again I told them stories of pull tabs, bottle caps and balls of foil. But they had no idea what foil was. I showed them a piece. This confused them and they left. Shortly after we pulled out the letter 'J" and a silver coloured skull charm. The sun had set and we started to walk back to the car since a baseball game had started up. On the way back I spotted a shiny toonie in the grass. In all we found $3.98
