I left the house pre-sunup, didnt have ANY money except a half handful of dirty clad from yesterday, less than a 1/4 tank of gas, and a half pack of smokes. Me and IBdiggin were up early reading the Forums and plotting and scheming...I knew I had to find enough to at least get enough gas to get home, but where close by havn't I hit? I went to a big school complex thats 15 miles from the house, knowing I HAD to find some money or I'd be on empty if I made it home at all.
I've hunted this place HARD and its been good, but I knew most of the really good locations I had picked over real well, I fired up the F70 running 42 sens and a -3 thresh. For the first 2 hours it was looking grim, just dimes and pennys, so I went to a swale out front of the school that looked like a likely place for some snow to get pushed, and there I got into the Q's! Then I worked the entrances and close to the chainlink fences and around the parking areas...again...the lower than normal sens got me coins I had missed before...I freestyled the wide open fields looking for a drop zone or lane, picking up stragglers, I just stayed at it, I quit at noon, poured my pouch into my sandscoop and shook it around, dumped the clad into my now empty 16oz coffee cup and it nearly filled it up! I swished some water around in it to sort of knock off the dirt and grass, poured it out on a towel to somewhat dry it off, and I went to the nearest coinstar,... had 41Q's, 46 D's, 8 N's and 104 P's including two wheats, I also had over 2 bucks in clean clad that did'nt get run through the coinstar, and 4 empties...
So I got one 24oz beer, a pack of smokes and gassed up to just below a half tank, got home with the 2 wheats and a few dimes and pennys left over. A guy cant really make a living, but a guy can sort of break even cladstabbing.:.and, its by gosh FUN! beers:
