Had a mind to do some detecting today - Actually, night since its dark by 7pm now.
So I go driving around looking for a lot I haven't hit in at least a week, those are few and far in between. There were 2 possibilities within 5 miles or so, both still had kids running around and I tend to pass when kids are there.
So it strikes me that there is one within half a mile of my house that I haven't hit in over a year, the reason why is because I thought the lot was mostly unused. This lot is separated from the school by a street and is also fenced in except for one obscure entrance, it is right next to a running track. By the school itself there is another lot where the kids don't need to cross a street to get to and I figure thats the one where all the kids go, so I hit that one on a regular basis.
But the one across the street I ignore, don't even remember last time I hit it.
So for lack of anything else I decided to give it a try. Pretty obvious I was wrong, it is used and used alot. Also apparent that no one else has hit this lot, I was finding quarters just about every other step, lotsa dimes and nickels too. Some were down a ways in the chips, others on the surface and everywhere in between - Pocket was getting so full my pants were falling down. Looks like at least $10, not much into counting clad. With all of this clad I figured I'd find some rings too but I got stymied on that, just a couple obscure tags.
I'll probably try it again in a few weeks, all I left is pennies there I combed it pretty good.
