Theres this one large old but still active park.. full of old Maple trees, picnic tables, grills...roots to be damned, impossible to dig with anything but a pickaxe or screwdriver...sort of a fun place to hunt in moderation since theres so many signals per swing, a guy has to concentrate, not like blasting along down an empty beach....so I like to go there on occasion and just work it a bit and give my poor feet a break...especially since the Big Lake was up and angry, and I didnt feel like putting on a lot of miles on the sand anyway ...
See this pic? At the end of that steel break water, today its over my head with huge waves, last year there was a foot of sand there...the whole place was a beach, and now theres 6' of water! .[attachment 315921 july7-15-1.jpg] So I said screw it and went to hunt pennies in the trash and roots of that old park...got into a few nice tight spills, including 2 Q's mixed in with pennies. Lots of singletons, just diddled along, taking one step at a time and swinging an arc trying to pull good signals out of the foil, tabs, trash..just hunting pennies for the most part, but listening for a tight nickel ping as well, tough to do with all the tabs, so I only got one.....it was relaxing and fun though..spent 1hr in there just enjoying myself and the 70..
