Playground in Kumeu

While waiting for my fish supper from Blue Chip takeaways (highly recommended) I spent 15 minutes detecting in and around the playground where the NorWest AFC have their clubroom's. A very small park with one slide, a climby thingy, a seesaw and two swings. It is a barked surface so it was easy to scrape down a few inches. I used the Garrett Ace 150 and did not dig any target that showed over 4" deep due to lack of time. I retrieved three nails, three bottle tops, a square headed screw, a $1 coin, a 10 cent coin. There were lots of other target signals so I will return with my updated detector when I have a bit more time. The park backs onto a cricket ground surrounded partly by large crescent of old trees I couldn't resist a quick swing. I only dug two holes which produced a 2 and a 5 cent coin in the old decimal money, then the chippie called. Another place which I will reinvestigate in the future.
I'm off to listen to the start of the 2nd test South Africa. Let's hope we fare better than in the first. We didn't :(
