Missing Sidewalk = Happy Metal Detecting :-)

[FooserPaul]

Hello all!

I had not been out since monday night and had a rough day so I headed out to a town park... I spent about 90 minutes digging targets... I nabbed 3 wheats and all modern clad :-( I decided to change locations to another park closer to town and loaded up my E-Trac left the park and turned right... and... orange cones and missing sidewalk... and it waskn't all roped off... hmmm... I pull over... 3 blocks missing on one side and 1 block missing on the other side...

What the heck... lets doeeeet...

Very first target 12/45 at 1"

Next target was a wheat penny on the surface! I got another 4 wheat pennies, some copper line parts...

I crossed the road to the one block part on the other side... 12/47 @ 1"

There were 8 wheat pennies total... This was the first time I hunted a spot where they were replacing sidewalks Fun... easy and a fast 2 silver coins for the 20-30 minutes I was there...

Happy Hunting All!
Paul

Good tip Paul !
Will have to keep an eye out for local sidewalk, parking lot, etc. - removal and construction.

Good eye/detector coordination Paul!!! I wish they'd tear up the "red bricks" around the square for a couple of weeks. I think it was put in in the 1920's/30's or maybe earlier. Oh well I probably won't have priority on that pipe dream. Congratulations Paul!! Thanks for the story and pictures!!
