A lot of you already know this - but - snowbanks are a great place to find eye-ball treausres in the spring! Snow plows push money, lost stuff... jewelry, and whatever else was dropped in a snowy parking lot. All the melting runoff and such will push lost items around too.
Get ready for spring and stake out the big snow banks for saearching as the melt starts!
You can go back every day as the snow banks melt more and more and find stuff... usually trash, I know - but treasures too.
You are so right Jim! We have to have the snow banks hauled away they get so big. Just about every Spring the company doing the hauling brings back a set (or three) of keys. When you have to wear gloves it's hard holding on to things.
snow piles are my favorite place to hunt. the bottom is last years snow pile finds .... while cleaning them up today one of the ear rings had the .925 silver mark on it.
the other bonus is aluminum cans. You can usually find alot of them too. Just remember to bring a garbage bag with you. Also restaurants will have silver ware in them sometimes.
We just got about 8" the last few days so that's good for me.
One word of advice .... don't wait too long otherwise the street sweepers come and take all the goodies when the thaw comes.
best places .... the pile that goes through fast food drive thrus, best buy, target, OTB's, bowling alleys w/bars, large malls, gas stations, and restaurants have been successful for me.
hope this helps

Treasure is everywhere, calling you. You just have to find it.
There was 97 cents on the ground at the McDonald's drive through today. To cold out to reach down and pick it up.
Make sure you put it in park before reaching out the door to pick up change; might end up in a drift before you get your drinks.
