The sidewalks were out as far as you could see... Well at least as far as I could see.
I made these finds in less than two hours at a site that took three hours to get to. (Six hours of driving time total).
Actually all the finds were made within one hour because I spent about half the time hunting the downtown business district, but there was too much sand under those sidewalks. (I wish I had a shovel). I decided to walk further down into the residential section because the sand was much shallower there, and the boulevards were scraped about six inches deep.
There were obvious signs that someone had already beat me to the site. Man, would I have loved to see what they found!
Ten Indian Head cents in less than one hour, plus a Seated Lib quarter, and other stuff. I only got a chance to search about 1/4 of the total area before I had to leave.

Awesome finds - the styles of the houses in the pictures look old - keep an eye out for more construction! I'd bet you'd find a ton more! Good Luck
