You never know what you'll find when you're out in the city parks...

Some finds are quite unexpected and mysterious, and make you wonder what the story is...

At least the one we had as a kid had walls and a half moon on the door. Makes me think about the direction this country has gone.
nice to see you post again Lord M.

Fell out of a tree house ?

What I see is that basketball court in the background and how much change must be along the edges of that court. Maybe trips to the pot too.
Puts new meaning to going behind the tree.
Lafayette Grading Set
The basketball court is brand new, though the park is reasonably old. I hunted that area just before they poured the slab for the court, since they dug out a few inches before the pour.
I got one old .32 pistol cartridge, a Vienna sausage or Beanie-Weenie can lid, a 1978 cent, and 6,000 itchy bites from bloodthirsty mosquitoes.
The item pictured above pretty much describes my luck in this park, though I believe @millennium has found silver and surprisingly old goodies here.
A lot of rain puddles for a brand new court

I wouldn't have thought about that, but yeah, I guess you're right.
It was only made last year. I'm pretty sure that sidewalk in the foreground is new, too.
This park is not in Old Town like the ones I usually frequent, but it's still pretty old (early 20th century, anyway). Certainly old enough for silver, but not one of the original colonial squares laid out in 1773.
Hope you are fairly well @lordmarcovan , keep in touch

@lordmarcovan .... Glad to see you posting again... your wit and storytelling has been missed. Cheers, RickO
Thanks, ricko. Anytime you want random toilet pix, just let me know. LOL
On second thought - don't- that totally did not sound right!
maybe thats why they left it there
Of course, if had been lucky in my park hunting, we'd have seen something like this:
... which would've lasted approximately 3.8 seconds in that location.
