<p>[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 25389354, member: 78298"]Mostly parks but I just do the playgrounds that's where people lose stuff and it's not just kids. Parents lose stuff, and older kids/people hang out there later. I hit one school playground that was still unlocked. The schools were the best places to hunt but they are all locked up like prisons now, even though it is not private property.</p><p>All the older ground here has been searched out, and the ground is like cement.</p><p>It's way too much work to pull up some corroded wheatie, and putting the grass back is also a chore. Most things are near the surface but many times I have to dig under it, but the soil under the wood chips is softer than the other ground I mentioned. I use a cheap Bounty Hunter and it works very well. I am close to 40,000 targets (since 2016) (I need 80 more) but if I include my stuff from the 1990's then that's another 700 or so.</p><p>I am at 70 wheaties, 10 silver coins and 1 buffalo, 1 proof quarter. Yes it's mostly pennies over 15,400 but I am close to 8800 quarters, 3300+ nickels, 6200+ dimes. Only 31 half dollars but one is a Franklin, 146 dollar coins 3 of them Eisenhowers and 2 of them are NIFCs. I have found 10 gold pieces, 8 rings a medallion and a chain, and another 99 silvers besides the coins.</p><p>And 4 silvers from the 1990's, and another half. After having little success in the 1990's I didn't expect much out here but I was pleasantly surprised, but now the game is dwindling down. I've also found $65 in cash 5 back then and 60 since 2016.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
