Cheap beachgoers!!!

[treasurekidd]

Hello again! I hit the local city park today, hunted the beach area, finding only a few clad dimes, and a part of a cross from a necklace that at first looked like gold, but when I cleaned it up, appeared to be junk. After the beach, I headed back to the car and decided to do a quick check of the sand parking lot. I hunted on a line with where car doors would be when parked in the lot, and in 30 minutes, hit a pocketful of coins, 62 in all, and all of them PENNIES, and none even a wheatie!! Damn cheap RI beachgoers, lol! Thats what I get for hitting the free beach in city park where cheapos who don't want to pay to park go! They're cheap even in losing coins!!! I'll probably try again tommorow morning for an hour or two at a different beach! HH!!

I have a good idea. We should all get scissors and go to the clothing stores in our areas and cut holes in the pockets of all the pants.

I think that finding all those pennies would have been fun but what a pain to get them all out how long did it take you?

It only took me about 1/2 hour to search the 4ft wide line across the parking area. I only searched the line of parking spaces nearest to the beach, as those are always the fullest during the summer. I stood at the very end of the lot, right in the center of where a car front door would be if a car was parked there, and just started searching, trying to stay within the car door line. Took me about 30 minutes to search the whole front line of parking spaces. The pennies came up fast because its a sand parking lot, and the sand is placed over what appeared to be an old paved parking lot bacause you could only dig about 2" before hitting asphault. Alot of the pennies popped right up on the first cut! I'll be back next weekend to hunt the other 3 rows of parking spaces, sticking to theoretical "car door" line and hoping for something more than pennies!

Try going in both directions like tic tac toe you will be surprised on how much you can miss going only in one direction.

I dont know if you are supposed to or not, treasurekidd, but try over near the stables in Goddard Park. I went over there before and found all kinds of horseshoe and snaffle bits! (Im from Coventry) I went in West Greewich and spent a half hour digging up a lawnmower blade. I guess Im just a rookie!

Yeah, I'm a newbie too. I just started about a month ago, and have been sticking to the basics like beaches, parks and schools here in Warwick. As for Goddard Park, detecting is allowed only on the beach, the rest is off limits, so be cautious next time! I have a few sites in Coventry on my list of sites to hit this summer: The small park on the side of Tiouge Lake, my favorite fishing hole on Johnsons Pond, and Central Coventry Park, which is a former Army Nike missle launch site back in the 50s-60s. I have been told that all the old Army buildings are still there in the park, but boarded up. Have you been up there at all

If you have any bars near the beach with walkways that have sand near them, check these, I have done well around them. People get drunk and drop all kinds of stuff on their way out the doors. 8)
