In trying to catch up on my late start this year I have been trying to plan my hunts carefully as I usually only get out on Sundays and sometimes Saturdays. This post is about nothing more than clad, but the size of the area I found it in was only ( 100 yards long x 5 yards wide ). I choose a school in a less desirable area of a local city. The first thing that hit me when I stepped out of my truck was the strong smell of marijuana coming from the houses nearby. The second thing to contend with was this adult man thats riding a kids bike coming up and asking...." hey my man you got any spare change"? I almost got back in the truck and left but decided I give it a go and leave one headphone off and head on a swivel.
There was one soccer field I chose to work. I immediately started to work around the bleacher areas of home and away that were both located on the road side. I was getting some clad but not a lot at all. With the temps at 90 I had a seat on the bleachers and said to myself IF I were to watch a game here where would I sit ? I looked across the field and there was a small hill the length of the field and no more than 5 yards wide. It was the only shaded area around. I walked across the field and started to swing and then it was 5 1/2 hours of nonstop action. In the end I came out of that 100 yd x 5yd section with $33.12 I think it was. Incredible amount in such a relatively small area. Glad I took the time to look things over.
Included in the pictures are two buckles that I found in a local farmers field Friday evening in the rain. Im not much of a relic hunter but I kept them figuring they might look nice in a display box with some other older finds I have.
As I said its nothing but clad but its the size of the area it was in. Back a few weeks ago I found $31.41 around one basketball court so I know its possible, it just amazes me the amount of coins people lose. I used the AT Pro today. Next week it will be the Nox 600...Slowly but surely I am paying off that Nox with my clad hunts. Im at $187.47 for the season in clad thus far with two gold finds for scrap. Hope all are having a great weekend. HH !
