Hey everyone,

Got out today to hit some sidewalk strips. An afternoon commitment got cancelled so that meant more detecting time for me!

I was doing some sidewalk strips outside a neighbor's house when another neighbor saw me and said "Did you leave a postcard at my place about metal detecting?". I said "Ya, that was me." He said I should go for it, score!

So I'm hitting the strips and I see this reeded, silver edge and I'm thinking "Oh yeah, silver quarter."

Nope, just a dang washer! Worst I've been fooled in a while.

I'm about 4 hours in and getting close to calling it a day when I get another high tone. I was basically in robot mode so I was just digging everything and lo and behold Mr. Roosevelt made an appearance:

You're usually good for at least one silver doing those sidewalk strips. I never found a Red Ryder token, that's sweet! Clever idea handing out postcards. I think it's a matter of time before you find something better near the curb.

Thanks, yeah, the sidewalk strips have been so consistent. Hard for me to get motivated to try new places when I know there is silver in the sidewalk strips 5 blocks away!
