March 15th - 18th, we took our metal-detecting show to northern Virginia. We metal detected three different places. My parents' house (shown above), a small park, and a middle school.
Here's what we found at my folks' house:
After asking a park ranger if we could have permission to search/dig at a national park, he informed us that digging in national parks was not permitted. So, we moved on to a local middle school:

After a little bit of online research, we determined that this item is a Cub Scout neckerchief slide.
The next day, we braved the bone-chilling cold and winds, searching a local city park playground:

| While searching a playground, we hit a "hot spot" right at the bottom of a slide, which is where we found most of these coins. Note the penny with the cross cut out of it. We also found another penny like this one later in the year at a different location. |

| One of our favorite items we have found so far, this Spongebob Squarepants character, "Patrick," is made of pewter and belongs to a special edition Monopoly game. We typically find lots of stray buttons at playgrounds. |
