Theres this one newer high school, you know the drill, they are fenced in and locked most of the time and built like a prison, probably to prepare the children for their future
So I ups and goes over there this morning after reading the forums not expecting much, just to have a look at the snowpiles and drink some coffee while the World wakes up, and maybe swing just a bit. Well, I park on over by the big modern fenced and gated football stadium, and start working the front, then I look over at the main stadium gate, and its WIDE OPEN! So, after thanking God for careless maintenance men, me and the F70 heads in there...theres a big grass courtyard sort of area, just inside the gates and right by the concessions, so I commence to swing it.. BAM! .Q's everywhere! I had to tell myself to settle down, take it easy, started highgrading anything above 70, but I was not passing on the nickels either, just ignoring the zincs. I did a quick pass through, and went to explore the main stadium field/bleacher area, I got over at the longjump pits, they were full of Pennys!
NO kidding, somebody had tossed several rolls of pennys in both pits! I just picked up the surface eyeball ones, since the F70 was sounding off every few inches, and the sand scoop was in the truck,...then I went over to a gentle slope next to the bleachers, again, more coins! I went back to the concession area and worked it good, multiple Q stacks, many spills...cleaned it out and was out of there in an hour tops..then I went and worked all the main entrance doorways to the school, coins galore there too! Anyway, in less than 4 hrs, I got all this loot, surface to 4". Had to drop the sens to 53, and sort of high coil it from the amount of trash and zincs in there. A diligent fellow would have had a 500 day in here, just dragging a sandscoop through the longjump pits would have gotten nearly that. Didn't need the pinpointer and just stabbed with the screwdriver for retrieval. These kind of opportunities very rarely happen, when a gated field is left open, you are there super early, and nobody is around! I was head on a swivel and prepared if the cops showed up, which I expected, and mentally rehearsed my lines accordingly, so I got in and out in a hurry and may go back this week while the kids are on break...I doubt I will have this kind of hunt again here though. I will work the snowpiles and the downwind parking areas looking for bills tomorrow. The picture looks weak, all the coins are in stacks of 10.
