spring time parking lot debris field ! how glorious

[WaterHound]

Picture this fellas, a big shopping center , and way out at the edge of parking lot huge ice burg snow piles melting ! And leaving a debris field , of everything that fell out of peoples cars and pockets , during the winter and the snow plows push it up into one big pile for us. a detectorist can hide behind the snow on the south west side and find lots or goodies . easy pickings some clad is visible and some barely covered buy the sand the plow trucks put on the parking lot for traction , jewelry can be found as well , these snow burgs are so big in northern mi small streams flow from them and when the wind hits them right its refreshing , up north the ground is still half frozen and the lake ice has not left yet, so a water detectorist can have some fun cleaning up a lot of clad , in fact I find more quarters at the edge of parking lots than I do in water, if the snow burgs are gone then look for the sand piles ,cigarette butts ,plastic bottles ,and paper , I've found more clad here than any were else , every store and needs to put their snow somewhere , have fun .

Tahoe, Reno and Carson City were amazing places to spring hunt-John

There's a shopping center just around the corner from me and they pile all the snow in one corner. When it's almost done melting, one usually sees the obvious junk but I've found some ear rings, costume jewelry, music CD's and of course clad. No need for my detector. It's all there in plain site. Nobody even wants to go near as it's strewn with trash and dirt when the snow is almost melted.

I here you guys. Today I was in the bear trap ! What is that ? Any place you might get ran out of , this was a home depot. Deep snow pit , I started finding older quarters and a money clip , no cash in it , I know a detectorist that will climb on top of the snow banks and doesent care who sees him ,plus he will hunt ditches along side the road , lol. So I've started doing some of that , after all know one will recognize me with my hoodie and sun glasses .

Running an honest Md'er out of a snow pile---That's what America has sunk to.

I hear ya doc holiday , if a detectorist has the guts and courage to to hunt these dangerous sites in open public looking for gas money, while putting up with all the gawkers ,who's to complain ? I am about to buy me an orange and green safety vest , a hard hat , and two orange traffic cones and hit some traffic mediums , at. 3 in the morning . I know its full of treasure , and ignore the glares of the liberals and grass lovers who drive by And think its their duty to snitch out a local hero doing a public service , don't get me going doc you know I have anger problems

Good morning conservative America ! I've got competition in the parking lot snow piles ! He's a nice man his name is Walter , has a AT for land and Excalibur for water .. And he is good ! He hunts like a beagle , his nose or coil is always on the ground moving left and right , really quick .if you've seen a beagle hunt you would know what I mean . lol he's is a engineer that lives in a very big beautiful home overlooking East Grand Traverse Bay , but he's very humble , gardens , and very knowledgeable on gold , silver and diamonds .and when he invited me to visit his home I thought I'm a drywaller. And painter what am I doing here . ? And then I realized its all about metal detecting , it brings people together from all walks or life . Walter has taught me about the value of precious metals .and I've taught him about the value of forums and coil covers , we even trade site info ! That's rare !
