Parking Lot Gold

Cfmct · Feb 11, 2017

I haven't been able to get out much but at least I am still finding gold... the earring is 2 grams found it when I was getting meds for my cold.. then yesterday after plowing a commercial account...a restaurant I plow..I got out to get a coffee and saw the crucifix sitting in the snow I had just piled up.. makes me wonder if the chain is in the pile.. the crucifix is 1 gram.. both items are 14k..

Its funny there are little bits of sand in the eyelet on the crucifix

This same account that I plowed I found a wallet the last storm and was able to return it to the guy who lost it... he was appreciative as he would have had to cancel a dozen credit cards... he didn't even realize it was missing until I returned it to him.

I have found 5 pieces of gold in parking lots now in the past 6 months... I always look for it.. my best find was that 7 gram gold necklace my wife took :roll:

Maybe we should have a sub-forum for parking lot gold

That's more eyeball gold finds than I've seen than from a whole year's hunts from Earl. :lol:

And you get this guy too... :dingding:

I look down here and all I have found in the snow is a dime.

Very nice Craig. At least you are still finding the yellow stuff!

The fluffy white stuff is finally melting here. YEA. However there is still no place to detect. Going for a long drive on Monday to find somewhere I hope. Cabin fever is horrible.

Good eyes. Yes i think its habit now...... but those CTXs even leave me pennies in the parking lots. :laughing:

Get over that cold...... man seems like everyone i know has one right now..... up N. and down here. Hard to shake too.

When I was young about 10 my grandmother would drop coins for me to pick up so I could spend them... I wish I never spent that silver..

PI JOE found a gold bracelet that was over 40 grams of 14k a while back... my other hunting friend Robert found a crushed white gold 18k diamond ring with pink and yellow canary diamonds... its out there for scavenging..

Its mostly gone Dew... but plowing with my windows open when it is snowing heavily keeps me from getting rid of it...

Damn felix you beat me to it. Funny, I was reading and the first thought I had was Earl. :laughing:

Congrats! Still looking for that first parking lot silver or gold but last season I did find a ten and a one rolled up in a parking garage. I'm sure someone took they're keys out and didn't realize the cash was tangled with the keys. Good luck this season and happy hunting!

Some years back -

I was detecting near a popular night club for college age people. Very big parking lot. I see this old guy walking back & forth so I ask him what he's doing. Turns out he is not only getting his daily walk in but is going over the big lot looking for goodies.
He had been doing this - on an early Sat/Sunday morn - for many years now and had all kinds of gold/silver/money to tell me about.

Is there a club near you all ? Steve in so la

I'm always looking out for goodies that people lose Joe... I walk sledding hills after the snow melts because women have a tendency to take off their gloves and sometimes their rings come off during that process :yes:

I don't do that... people would probably think I was nuts or casing a car to break into Steve

I do check out the piles of snow.. also check them out after they melt.. find good stuff that way sometimes.

Even when detecting it's always good practice to look around. Congrats Craig! :yes:

Nice scores! Gotta admit I'd be happy with those and day of the week. Although I think you wasted you $$$ on a metal detector. Clearly your showing off by not using one. But in your defense I have found more change walking from my truck to to front door of the store than I have found on the beach so I guess your still good.

Good stuff Craig! Congrats!
