<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 24628729, member: 78298&quot;]I did but things are dwindling down now. The fun is over. Too bad. I&#039;ve done the regular thing, but digging up and replacing the sod is too much work and the coins are often environmentally damaged, and my area is searched out and the ground is like cement. So I was always just doing modern, urban treasure hunts&nbsp; playgrounds in parks) because 90% of the time you don&#039;t have to dig past the sand or wood chips, sometimes you have to go down into the ground and that is still OK but not great. But the best spots were always the elementary school playgrounds. This is&nbsp; huge city and there are a ton of schools everywhere and over 90% of them were always open on the weekends. For kids to either use the swings etc. or for local neighborhoods to use to fields to play or walk their dogs. Well they are all locked up now with chains and gates and fences and prison doors even though it&#039;s not private property and almost no one was doing what I was doing. I would go out early Sunday mornings and hit&nbsp; 6 or 7 schools in one geographic area, and I had 8 or 9 different areas laid out, and other weeks I would hit parks, and by the time I went through the whole rotation, a few months would have passed and I would start the whole thing again. Everything was going great for 4 or 5 years and then the pandemic hit and that messed things up and slowly 1 by 1 they are all locked up like jails now. It&#039;s depressing.&nbsp; I do have a nice pile of dollar coins, (halves) silver rings, gold, etc. But the game is over. I was always bringing home dollar coins and my GF would say: Who even has dollar coins to lose?&nbsp; I assume they get them as change from some vending source inside the school?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
