Treasure Hunter

While eating lunch in La Crosse's Copeland Park I noticed this guy working over the playground area with a metal detector. I thought that was a little odd because most kids don't carry change and if they do it's usually only pennies or dimes. So is it worth one's time to search for small change on a playground? I don't think so but to each his own. I watched the guy for 30 minutes while eating my lunch and during that time his metal detector only beeped once . . . in some sand near a swing. The guy got down on his hands and knees with a trowel and dug up something small he put in his pocket. Was probably a penny. Yahoo!
