Since it's been raining 2-3 weeks in a row, I haven't been to the tot lots-cause they haven't been used for that long. So I've had to go to the trashy spots and use coins mode. Well,, one of the schools has a trashy part that no one searches so I just go to sens#2 in the coins mode and hope to surface pick the coins among the heavy trash. What gets me is the # of coins that are poppin' up . I searched this little strip in front of the school-only about 3 feet wide - about 2 weeks ago and today 4 QUARTERS showed up-not shiny, just dropped quarters-dirty ones that look like they've been there for months-the top four in the pic. I don't know if it's because the Ace's not reacting to the trash as much or if maybe less reaction to the ground. I did get to go to one of the schools and use the Relics mode, my favorite, and thus the cleaner coins. This machine's growing on me more each day.

Happy Hunting!
