The weather was nice and the high school was empty yesterday, so I decided to try it.
It was a target rich environment with a TON of trash. Despite garbage cans placed conveniently every 100 feet, the preferred place for the high school brats to dispose metal bits was the ground.
All I got for 2 hours hunting was 2 quarters and 2 cents, plus a broken piece of cheap jewelry.
I had my Nox set on Park 1. I avoided all targets ID'd 14-16, yet I still got aluminum pull tabs and bottle caps outside of that range.
The one thing that was fairly consistent -- quarters were around 30 and pennies were about 20. All other numbers seemed to be random shapes of aluminum trash -- cans, pieces of shredded cans, foil, etc.
What did I do wrong -- how can I stop wasting my time on aluminum trash?
