Looking at old aerial views of different sections I found an old section that once had houses, and now there is only a few left. By the online records the vacant lots are FEMA owned and since FEMA is part of the govt. and our govt. is elected officials... I went to hunt "our" land.
Took my IDX and 5.3 Bullseye coil and drove to the end of one of the mostly vacant streets. I started searching and right away was getting coin signals and digging them up. All the clad coins were not more than 3 inches deep. I think I found the play area for the section, or a coin dumping area.
Almost 3 hours later and tired, I had dug up 17 quarters, 12 dimes, 9 nickels, 11 pennies and only a few trash items. I also dug up an old Slaymaker Padlock. Could be from the early 1960's to mid 1970's, when they got bought by another company. I am going back in a few days to see what else is hidden in the vacant lot area.

You don't want to give a bad name to our hobby, right? Afterall, "you never can be too sure". Please recant of this lawless activity, and send me all your ill-gotten gain. I will dispose of it properly, and you will be absolved of all guilt 
How compelling a gesture, particularly with the economic crisis in CA.
