Anyone for tennis?

Today we were very busy doing chores around the house. We had a couple of hours before I had to get ready for my violin concert tonight. Again it was a beautiful sunny day outside and Mary really wanted to metal detect. It was decided that we could go across the street to scan around the tennis courts in the park.

Leaving the big shovel at home we wandered over with a couple of Tim Horton's (coffees) to do some light scanning. I dialed down the sensitive of the detector to only to pick-up valuable metals a couple of inches down. The park was littered with broken beer bottles and jimmie hatz and realized we had to be carefull what we touched.

As we finished our coffees with used the cups for trash containers and cleaned up the park while we were there. The prospect of finding money in less than 2 hours in this filthy park was beginning to look grim but we persisted.

Cutting the smallest holes necessary, we made our way around the tennis courts replacing our divots to hide our intrusive digging. As we finished our circle we had exactly $2 in our pockets (and two overflowing coffee cups of garbage)
